Perceptual constraints in phonotactic learning. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010 Structural regularities in language have often been attributed to symbolic or statistical general purpose computations, whereas perceptual factors influencing such generalizations have received less interest. Here, we use phonotactic-like constraints as a case study to ask whether the structural properties of specific perceptual and memory mechanisms ...

Antepenultimate stress in Spanish: In defense of syllable weight and grammatically-informed analogy
Glossa, 2018 Spanish has a contrastive stress system with three major possibilities: antepenultimate, penultimate, and final stress. While penultimate and final stress are to some extent predictable, a major point of contention in the literature is whether ...

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract Based on an analysis of the Old Literary Tibetan corpus—a corpus of the oldest documented Tibetic language—the present study provides evidence that literary Tibetan v3 verb stems (commonly termed ‘future’) initially encoded passive voice. New arguments put forward in this article range from Trans‐Himalayan nominal morphology to early Tibetan ...

Epenthetic vowel production of unfamiliar medial consonant clusters by Japanese speakers
Laboratory Phonology, 2019 Existing nativized loanword studies have traditionally suggested that there are three epenthetic vowels in Japanese, which reflect both phonotactic restrictions and articulatory properties of certain consonant-vowel sequences in the language.

How Awareness of Orthographic Transparency Benefits the Lexical Encoding of Second Language Vowels
Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract We investigated the influence of orthographic transparency, and learners’ awareness of it, on the second language (L2) phonolexical encoding of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) mid‐vowel contrasts. In BP, accent marks indicate vowel quality (mid‐closed vs.

Learning Phonotactics in a Differentiable Framework of Subregular Languages
, 2022 Phonotactic constraints have been argued to beregular, meaning that they can be represented usingfinite-state automata (Heinz, 2018); furthermore, they have been argued to occupy a even more restrictedregion of the regular language class known as the ...

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.

Morphonotactics in L1 acquisition of Lithuanian: TD vs. SLI
Eesti Rakenduslingvistika Ühingu Aastaraamat, 2015 The aim of the present study is to test the Strong Morphonotactic Hypothesis (SMH), according to which speakers use morphonotactic consonant clusters as morphological boundary signals (Korecky-Kröll et al. 2014).

Words and Scents: How Language Shapes and Skews Olfactory Processing
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Research on language and olfaction presents a paradox. Language appears to support the formation of odor categories, yet it can also hinder odor recognition through verbal interference, highlighting that different olfactory processes get affected in distinct ways.
