The Proper Treatment of Optimality in Computational Phonology [PDF]

Proceedings of FSMNLP'98. International Workshop on Finite-State Methods in Natural Language Processing, pages 1-12, June 29 - July 1, 1998. Bilkent University. Ankara, Turkey, 1998
This paper presents a novel formalization of optimality theory. Unlike previous treatments of optimality in computational linguistics, starting with Ellison (1994), the new approach does not require any explicit marking and counting of constraint violations.

The Ancient Maya Script of Hand Forms Embedded in Figural Art: A Decipherment of Numerals Signed by the Rulers of Altar Q1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract Ancient Maya texts are informationally dominated by hieroglyphic inscriptions and visually dominated by figural art with distinctly formed hands. The hands suggest iconographically embedded hand signs, which would constitute a unique modality of semantic expression and a discourse complement to hieroglyphic writing.

Effects of Suprasegmental Phonological Alternations on Early Word Recognition: Evidence from Tone Sandhi

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
Early language acquisition is potentially complicated by the presence of many sources of variability in the speech signal. A frequent example of variability is phonological alternations, which can lead to context-driven changes in the realization of a ...

Foreign English Accent Adjustment by Learning Phonetic Patterns [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
State-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems struggle with the lack of data for rare accents. For sufficiently large datasets, neural engines tend to outshine statistical models in most natural language processing problems. However, a speech accent remains a challenge for both approaches.

Unexpected Final Vowel Retention in Malakula

Open Linguistics, 2014
Almost all of the thirty or so languages of Malakula in Central Vanuatu show a rule deleting word-final Proto-Oceanic vowels, suggesting that wholesale final vowel deletion might be reconstructible to Proto-Malakula.

Word spelling in monolingual and bilingual children with developmental language disorder

Journal of Research in Reading, EarlyView.
Background Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) are reported to have word spelling difficulties. These findings concern monolingual children with DLD; little is known about bilingual children with DLD. We examined word spelling abilities of bilingual children with DLD to determine if bilingualism is an additional risk factor for spelling

Does derivational morphology contribute to reading and spelling in Portuguese? / A morfologia derivacional contribui para a leitura e escrita no português?

Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica, 2008
Studies carried out in English orthography show that the ability to reflect upon the word's morphemes is related to the success in recognizing words, reading comprehension and spelling.

PhonologyBench: Evaluating Phonological Skills of Large Language Models [PDF]

arXiv
Phonology, the study of speech's structure and pronunciation rules, is a critical yet often overlooked component in Large Language Model (LLM) research. LLMs are widely used in various downstream applications that leverage phonology such as educational tools and poetry generation.
