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.

A Generative Model of Phonotactics [PDF]
Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021 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 ...

, 2018 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.

Segmentation cues in conversational speech: Robust semantics and fragile phonotactics [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 Multiple cues influence listeners’ segmentation of connected speech into words, but most previous studies have used stimuli elicited in careful readings rather than natural conversation. Discerning word boundaries in conversational speech may differ from

A Maximum Entropy Model of Phonotactics and Phonotactic Learning [PDF]
Linguistic Inquiry, 2008 The study of phonotactics is a central topic in phonology. We propose a theory of phonotactic grammars and a learning algorithm that constructs such grammars from positive evidence. Our grammars consist of constraints that are assigned numerical weights according to the principle of maximum entropy.

The study of Polish phonotactics: Measures of phonotactic preferability
Studies in Polish Linguistics, 2017 Celem niniejszej pracy jest zbadanie polskiej fonotaktyki z punktu widzenia roznych modeli preferencyjności. Inwentarz zbitek spolgloskowych wystepujących na początku i na koncu slowa zostal wyekstrahowany ze slownika oraz zanalizowany na podstawie zalozen Zasady Sonorności oraz Zasady Audiodystansu Netto.

NP EXTENSION: B&B PHONOTACTICS [PDF]
, 2009 This paper will report on an extension of the framework of Natural Phonology in the area of syl- lable phonology and phonotactics. In particular, it will present a universal model of phonotactics constructed within Beats-and-Binding Phonology (B&B ...
