Phonological redeployment is the theoretical ability of language learners to utilize non-local phonological knowledge from known languages in the mapping and acquisition of novel contrasts in their target languages. The current paper probes the limits of

Similarity Avoidance and Final Stop Deletion in Consonantal Clusters of Persian within Optimality Theory Framework [PDF]
Similarity avoidance- as a perceptual factor- is the basis of the phonotactics of a variety of languages. Stop consonants are considered to be ideal candidates for deletion as they have intrinsically weak perceptual cues, especially in final position ...

Identification of voiced stop consonants produced by acoustically driven vocal tract modulations [PDF]
A recently developed speech production model, in which speech segments are specified by relative acoustic events called resonance deflection patterns, was used to generate speech signals that were presented to listeners in a perceptual test.

The duration of stop consonants [PDF]
It is well known that the duration of a stop consonant in the intervocalic, poststressed position may serve as a cue to that stop's voicing characteristic [L. Lisker, Lang. 33, 42–49 (1957)]. More recent research has suggested that when stop-closure durations are examined in a variety of positions, the voiceless stops have greater duration than the ...

Seeing Sounds: The Role of Vowels and Consonants in Crossmodal Correspondences
Crossmodal correspondences refer to the fact that certain domains of features in different sensory modalities are associated with each other. Here, we investigated the crossmodal correspondences between speech sounds and visual shapes.

Finnic Stop Gradation as an Effect of Mora Sharing; pp. 161-181 [PDF]
Finnic radical stop gradation affected stop consonants in the onset position of unstressed syllables. The stops were weakened before closed syllables, and remained unweakened before open syllables.
