Lexicality and frequency in specific language impairment: accuracy and error data from two nonword repetition tests [PDF]

, 2010
Purpose: Deficits in phonological working memory and deficits in phonological processing have both been considered potential explanatory factors in Specific Language Impairment (SLI).

Samoan root phonotactics: Digging deeper into the data

Linguistic Discovery, 2013
This article gives a detailed quantitative account of Samoan root phonotactics. In particular, count data is given in eleven tables of segment frequencies (i.e., consonants, short and long vowels, diphthongs) and frequencies of combinations of segments ...

Invisible Print? Reading Skill Predicts Children's Learning of Novel Spoken Words

Infant and Child Development, Volume 35, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Research indicates that when literate children and adults hear a new word that they have never seen in print, they create an expectation for how the word may be spelled. However, studies have not yet examined the extent to which orthographic knowledge plays a role in children's spoken vocabulary learning when words are taught without print ...

Segmentation cues in conversational speech: Robust semantics and fragile phonotactics

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

Phoneme Manner Types and Function and Content Words as Biomarkers for Different Types of Stutters in Speakers Who Continue to Stutter

International Journal of Language &Communication Disorders, Volume 61, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background / Aims This study addressed whether or not manner of phonemes at the onset of function and content words is linked to different types of stutter. Methods & Procedures Sixty‐six spontaneous speech samples from 22 participants (three recordings per participant) were employed.

Predictability Affects Spoken Phonological Systems Indirectly

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The last three decades have seen a large increase in attempts to explain phonetic and phonological patterns using information theoretic properties such as frequency and predictability. One recurring theme is the attempt to explain phonetic and phonological weakening as following directly from low information content. I argue that the actuation

Preaspiration in Sienese Italian & Its Interaction with Stress in /VC:/ Sequences [PDF]

, 2004
This paper reports some initial results from our investigation into effects of stress in /VC:/ sequences in Sienese Italian. Our spontaneous speech data show preaspiration in /VC:/ sequences, not previously reported for any variety of Italian.

Effects of phonotactic predictability on sensitivity to phonetic detail

Laboratory Phonology, 2019
Japanese speakers systematically devoice or delete high vowels [i, u] between two voiceless consonants. Japanese listeners also report perceiving the same high vowels between consonant clusters even in the absence of a vocalic segment.
