Investigating the universality of consonant and vowel co-occurrence restrictions
GlossaCertain phonotactic constraints on the co-occurrence of segments appear to be much more common across the world’s languages than others. In many languages, similar consonant co-occurrence is restricted through Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP) effects ...

Learning phonotactic distributions [PDF]
, 2004 The problem All languages have distributional regularities: patterns which restrict what sounds can appear where, including nowhere, as determined by local syntagmatic factors independent of any particular morphemic alternations. Early Generative Phonology tended to slight the study of distributional relations in favour of morphophonemics, perhaps ...

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Music and language are both hierarchically structured: syllables combine into words, and meters are groupings of musical beats. Statistical learning (SL) supports speech segmentation through computation of transitional probabilities between syllables, and individual differences in SL ability were found predictive of further language ...

Lexical and sub-lexical knowledge influences the encoding, storage, and articulation of nonwords [PDF]
, 2011 Nonword repetition (NWR) has been used extensively in the study of child language. Although lexical and sub-lexical knowledge is known to influence NWR performance, there has been little examination of the NWR processes (e.g., encoding, storage ...

Journal of Neuropsychology, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 101-114, March 2026.Abstract Reports of patients with impaired verbal short‐term memory are central to the debate of whether there are independent short‐term stores or whether immediate repetition is supported by activated long‐term memory. Patients with selective impairments of verbal short‐term memory support models with independent buffers.
