Notes on structural distinctions in Malay dialects

open access: yesWacana: Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia, 2018
Some features of phonology, morphophonemics, and morphology are offered, which seem to be useful for classifying Malay dialects on structural basis. Dialectal differences with Standard Malay are illustrated on minor samples of Johor and Kelantan dialects

A cognitive linguistic approach to analysis and correction of orthographic errors

open access: yesRussian Journal of Linguistics, 2022
In this paper, we apply usage-based linguistic analysis to systematize the inventory of orthographic errors observed in the writing of non-native users of Russian.

Cross‐Linguistic Variations in Word‐Final Position: The Parametric Hierarchies, Connections and Networks

open access: yesStudia Linguistica, Volume 80, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Word‐final position is widely recognized as a structurally weak and restricted domain, yet languages differ strikingly in how they regulate segments and clusters at the right edge. While some systems categorically prohibit final consonants, others allow only a subset of segments, and still others impose process‐based adjustments such as final ...

Inights on NIRS sensitivity from a cross-linguistic study on the emergence of phonological grammar

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2013
Each language has a unique set of phonemic categories and phonotactic rules which determine permissible sound sequences in that language. Behavioral research demonstrates that one’s native language shapes the perception of both sound categories and sound

Newborns' Language Discrimination May Not Reflect Sensitivity to Speech Rhythm: Evidence From Computational Modeling

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Human newborns are able to discriminate between certain languages but not others. This ability has long been attributed to sensitivity to rhythm—the temporal regularities in speech of different languages. Here, we demonstrate through a series of computational simulations that this discrimination behavior can be achieved using no temporal ...

Do we use L1 probabilistic phonotactics in L2 listening? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The present study examined whether Cantonese-English bilingual listeners made use of their L1 probabilistic phonotactics in the segmentation process of English continuous speech (L2).

Toward a generative theory of language transfer: Experiment and modeling of sC prothesis in L2 Spanish

open access: yesOpen Linguistics, 2015
When native Spanish speakers produce English words with initial [s]-consonant clusters (sC), they sometimes produce a prothetic vowel, e.g. stigma > estigma. This paper reports a production experiment on this phenomena, as well as computational modelling

Syllable structure and prosodic words in Early Old French

open access: yesPapers in Historical Phonology, 2020
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the phonotactics of syllable rhymes based on all unique tokens in two Early Old French texts. Based on the data from this single, conservative variety, I develop Jacobs’ (1994) proposal that the Old French ...

Speech Neurophysiology in Realistic Contexts: Big Hype or Big Leap?

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 12, June 2026.
Speech neurophysiology is moving from controlled listening tasks to dynamic, socially rich interactions, challenging traditional methods. This shift promises deeper insights into how the brain processes and represents speech in real‐world contexts, while introducing new analytical complexities.

Phonotactics as phonology: knowledge of a complex restriction in Dutch [PDF]

open access: yesPhonology, 2012
The Dutch lexicon contains very few sequences of a long vowel followed by a consonant cluster whose second member is a non-coronal. We provide experimental evidence that Dutch speakers have implicit knowledge of this gap, which cannot be reduced to the probability of segmental sequences or to word-likeness as measured by neighbourhood density.
