Glossa, 2020 The Subregular Hypothesis (Heinz 2010) states that only patterns with specific subregular computational properties are phonologically learnable. Lai (2015) provided the initial laboratory support for this hypothesis.

Phylogenetic signal in phonotactics [PDF]
Diachronica, 2021 Abstract Phylogenetic methods have broad potential in linguistics beyond tree inference. Here, we show how a phylogenetic approach opens the possibility of gaining historical insights from entirely new kinds of linguistic data – in this instance, statistical phonotactics.

The impact of prenatal and postnatal acoustic experience to the discrimination of native versus non-native linguistic rules in the brain: insights from combined electrophysiological and vascular signals in 3-month-olds [PDF]
Developmental Cognitive NeuroscienceSome scaffolding of later language acquisition begins prenatally. Fetuses perceive slow acoustic features (e.g., stress patterns), while fast aspects relevant for phonetics become fully accessible only after birth.

Infants’ sensitivity to phonotactic regularities related to perceptually low-salient fricatives: a cross-linguistic study [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionInfants’ sensitivity to language-specific phonotactic regularities emerges between 6- and 9- months of age, and this sensitivity has been shown to impact other early processes such as wordform segmentation and word learning.

Frequency of use and sonority sequencing in first- and second-language consonant cluster perception: facilitation is language-specific [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionExpectations derived from knowledge about the likelihood of different phoneme sequences are an effective cognitive mechanism to make the listening process more efficient. In addition to language-specific distributions, universal principles of

A Generative Model of Phonotactics [PDF]
Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2017 We present a probabilistic model of phonotactics, the set of well-formed phoneme sequences in a language. Unlike most computational models of phonotactics (Hayes and Wilson, 2008; Goldsmith and Riggle, 2012), we take a fully generative approach, modeling a process where forms are built up out of subparts by phonologically-informed structure building ...

Learning novel phonotactics from exposure to continuous speech [PDF]
Laboratory Phonology, 2017 Knowledge of phonotactics is commonly assumed to derive from the lexicon. However, computational studies have suggested that phonotactic constraints might arise before the lexicon is in place, in particular from co-occurrences in continuous speech.

Difficulty in artificial word learning impacts targeted memory reactivation and its underlying neural signatures [PDF]
eLifeSleep associated memory consolidation and reactivation play an important role in language acquisition and learning of new words. However, it is unclear to what extent properties of word learning difficulty impact sleep associated memory reactivation.

, 2018 Abstract Phonotactics is the study of restrictions on possible sound sequences in a language. In any language, some phonotactic constraints can be stated without reference to morphology, but many of the more nuanced phonotactic generalizations do make use of morphosyntactic and lexical information.
