Transphonologization of voicing in Chru: Studies in production and perception
Laboratory Phonology, 2020 Chru, a Chamic language of south-central Vietnam, has been described as combining contrastive obstruent voicing with incipient registral properties (Fuller, 1977). A production study reveals that obstruent voicing has already become optional and that the

Influence of spectral prominence on perceived vowel height [PDF]
The 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 ...

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 124, Issue 2, Page 314-356, July 2026.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 ...

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT Human newborns are able to discriminate between certain languages but not others. This ability has long been attributed to sensitivity to rhythm—the temporal regularities in speech of different languages. Here, we demonstrate through a series of computational simulations that this discrimination behavior can be achieved using no temporal ...

Towards a model of phonological acquisition in government phonology [PDF]
, 1998 Child phonology shows some interesting and systematic differences from adult phonology. In child phonology, for example, vowel harmony and consonant harmony are common phonological effects (Ingram 1986).

Laboratory PhonologyThis paper explores cue-weighting in the production of vowel height contrasts in children’s first words. Specifically, it investigates the role of the first formant (F1) and the fundamental frequency (F0) in signalling these contrasts and how their use ...

Cadernos de Estudos Lingüísticos, 2011 This paper contends that the two competing "rules" that the literature on Portuguese morphophonology has claimed to apply to the verb paradigm, namely, vowel height harmony and vowel lowering, are, in fact, phonotactic restrictions that apply, in a ...
