August 2000, 2001 This paper describes a novel approach to constructing phonotactic models. The underlying theoretical approach to phonological description is the multisyllable approach in which multiple syllable classes are defined that reflect phonotactically idiosyncratic syllable subcategories.

Exemplar Dynamics Models of the Stability of Phonological Categories [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 We develop a model for the stability and maintenance of phonological categories. Examples of phonological categories are vowel sounds such as "i" and "e". We model such categories as consisting of collections of labeled exemplars that language users store in their memory.

Phonological (un)certainty weights lexical activation [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Spoken word recognition involves at least two basic computations. First is matching acoustic input to phonological categories (e.g. /b/, /p/, /d/). Second is activating words consistent with those phonological categories. Here we test the hypothesis that the listener's probability distribution over lexical items is weighted by the outcome of both ...

PhonologyBench: Evaluating Phonological Skills of Large Language Models [PDF]
arXivPhonology, the study of speech's structure and pronunciation rules, is a critical yet often overlooked component in Large Language Model (LLM) research. LLMs are widely used in various downstream applications that leverage phonology such as educational tools and poetry generation.

Train & Constrain: Phonologically Informed Tongue-Twister Generation from Topics and Paraphrases [PDF]
arXivPrevious work in phonologically and phonetically grounded language generation has mainly focused on domains such as puns and poetry. In this article, we present new work on the generation of English tongue twisters - a form of language that is required to be conditioned on a phoneme level to maximize sound overlap, while maintaining semantic ...
