From Nominalisation to Passive in Old Tibetan: Reconstructing Grammatical Meaning in an Extinct Language1

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract Based on an analysis of the Old Literary Tibetan corpus—a corpus of the oldest documented Tibetic language—the present study provides evidence that literary Tibetan v3 verb stems (commonly termed ‘future’) initially encoded passive voice. New arguments put forward in this article range from Trans‐Himalayan nominal morphology to early Tibetan ...

Estimating feedforward versus feedback control of speech production through kinematic analyses of unperturbed articulatory movements

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
To estimate the contributions of feedforward vs. feedback control systems in speech articulation, we analyzed the correspondence between initial and final kinematics in unperturbed tongue and jaw movements for consonant-vowel (CV) and vowel-consonant (VC)

Influence of spectral prominence on perceived vowel height [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1985
Earlier experiments on the perception of vowel height comparing oral with nasal vowels, and one- with two-formant vowels, indicated (1) center of gravity (measured in terms of a simple weighted average of spectral components in the F1-F2 region) does not closely predict perceived vowel height and (2) F1 influences the perceived height of oral vowels ...

Bactrian in Issyk‐Kushan Script: Additional Readings and Decipherments1

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This article presents additional readings of several inscriptions written in the Issyk‐Kushan script, building on the improved system of sound values recently proposed by Sims‐Williams (2025b). We propose that some further lines of Dašt‐i Nāwur inscription DN III and parts of several other inscriptions can now be read as Bactrian, add new ...

The gradient influence of temporal extent of coarticulation on vowel and speaker perception

open access: yesLaboratory Phonology, 2018
Coarticulation makes vowels in context acoustically different from context-free vowels. Listeners sometimes compensate by ascribing these acoustic effects to their source, but the conditions under which they do so have not yet been fully pinpointed ...

Vowel alternation in disyllabic reduplicatives: an areal dimension

open access: yesEesti ja Soome-ugri Keeleteaduse Ajakiri, 2011
This paper analyzes a variety of languages with regard to vowel alternation patterns in their disyllabic sound symbolic reduplicatives (DSRs). The analysis reveals that (1) a number of different languages have their preferred patterns of vowel ...

Effective When Distinctive: The Role of Phonetic Similarity in Nested Dependency Learning Across Preschool Years

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Parallel tracking of distant relations between speech elements, so‐called nonadjacent dependencies (NADs), is crucial in language development but computationally demanding and acquired only in late preschool years. As processing of single NADs is facilitated when dependent elements are perceptually similar, we investigated how phonetic ...

Accounting for L2 learners’ errors in word stress placement

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2016
Stress placement in English words is governed by highly complicated rules. Thus, assigning stress correctly in English words has been a challenging task for L2 learners, especially Indonesian learners since their L1 does not recognize such stress system.
