abstract foreign and iranian cultures are far distinct in the constraints imposed on writing and translating for children, since the iranian literary system is mainly concerned with cultural and religious instructions which lead to manipulation of translated texts. this study sought to identify the cultural and social constraints and norms which determined the strategies applied in the transl...
15 صفحه اولPerceptual distortions in the adaptation of English consonant clusters: syllable structure or consonantal contact constraints?
We present the results from an experiment that tests the perception of English consonantal sequences by Korean speakers and we confirm that perceptual epenthesis in a second languge (L2) arises from syllable structure restrictions of the first language (L1), rather than linear co-occurence restrictions. Our study replicates and extends Dupoux, Kakehi, Hirose, Pallier, & Mehler's (1999) results ...
متن کاملSyllable-based constraints on properties of English sounds
This thesis outlines a phonological representation and corresponding rule framework for modelling constraints on an utterance's acoustic-phonetic pattern. The proposed representation and framework of rules are based on the syllable and suggested as an alternative to other representations that are primarily segment-based. Specifically, the traditional notion of a segment is abandoned at the syst...
متن کاملSimple Syllable Structure and English Pre-nucleus Glides
The purpose of this paper is to test whether the Simple Syllable Structure (SSS) proposed by Duanmu (1990:[2]) is true of English onsets or not. If the SSS holds for English onset, English onglides should be secondary articulations on the onset consonant rather than separate sounds. We will test this by measuring the duration of the initial consonant –glide combination, to determine whether it ...
متن کاملImproving accent identification through knowledge of English syllable structure
This paper studies the structure of foreign-accented read English speech. A system for accent identification is constructed by combining linguistic theory with statistical analysis. Results demonstrate that the linguistic theory is reflected in real speech data and its application improves accent identification. The work discussed here combines and applies previous research in language identifi...
