How Autosegmental is Phonology?
In this paper I address the following questions: How appropriate/effective are traditional autosegmental representations? What insights do autosegmental representations help us express? Where do autosegmental representations fall short? And finally, what does this all mean for phonology? Such questions are particularly timely, as numerous scholars have abandoned both earlier assumptions of clas...
متن کاملAn autosegmental/metrical model of Chickasaw intonation
This chapter presents a formal model for transcribing the intonational properties of Chickasaw, a Western Muskogean language spoken in south-central Oklahoma by perhaps a few hundred speakers. The proposed model adopts many elements and assumptions of the autosegmental/metrical (AM) framework originally developed to analyse English intonational structure (Pierrehumbert 1980, Silverman et al. 19...
متن کاملMetrical phonology in HPSG
This paper proposes a new approach to the prosodysyntax interface inHPSG. Previous approaches to prosody in HPSG (Klein, 2000; Haji-Abdolhosseini, 2003) represent prosodic information by constructing metrical constituent structure in the tradition of (Selkirk, 1980; Liberman and Prince, 1977). One drawback of this approach is that it does not allow for a direct representation of purely metrical...
متن کاملAutosegmental Aims in Surface Optimizing Phonology
We develop a novel optimization approach to tone. Its grammatical component consists of the similarityand proximity-based correspondence constraint framework of Agreement by Correspondence theory (ABC). Its representational component (Q theory) decomposes segments (Q) into temporally ordered, quantized subsegments (q), which comprise unitary sets of distinctive features, including tone. ABC+Q u...
متن کاملLogic and the Generative Power of Autosegmental Phonology*
The current study examines the generative power of Autosegmental Phonology (Goldsmith, 1976, 1979, 1990) in the framework of Formal Language Theory, with which we can study the computational complexity of phonological phenomena and formalisms independent of specific theoretical frameworks in phonology. A methodology for a model-theoretic study of autosegmental phonology with monadic second-orde...
