Exemplar Dynamics and Sound Merger in Language
We develop a model of phonological contrast in natural language. Specifically, the model describes the maintenance of contrast between different words in a language, and the elimination of such contrast when sounds in the words merge. An example of such a contrast is that provided by the two vowel sounds i and e, which distinguish pairs of words such as pin and pen in most dialects of English. ...
متن کاملLanguage Dynamics: Sound Categorization
Speech perception depends largely on information in an acoustic stream that is inherently dynamic: it changes constantly and fades rapidly. Transitions occur on many levels, from those between sound segments to syntactic adjustments. The present paper describes a program of research that is based on the idea that speech sound categorization occurs via transitions between attractors in a dynamic...
متن کاملExemplar models, evolution and language change1
Evidence supporting a rich memory for associations suggests that people can store perceptual details in the form of exemplars. The resulting particulate model of category contents allows the application of evolution theory in modeling category change, because variation in categorized percepts is reflected in the distribution of exemplars in a category. Within a production-perception feedback lo...

امروزه سالیتون ها بعنوان امواج جایگزیده ای که تحت شرایط خاص بدون تغییر شکل در محیط منتشر می-شوند، زمینه مطالعات گسترده ای در حوزه اپتیک غیرخطی هستند. در این راستا توجه به پدیده پراش گسسته، که بعنوان عامل پهن شدگی باریکه نوری در آرایه ای از موجبرهای جفت شده، ظاهر می گردد، ضروری است، زیرا سالیتون های گسسته از خنثی شدن پراش گسسته در این سیستم ها بوسیله عوامل غیرخطی بوجود می آیند. گسستگی سیستم عامل...
Goldilocks and the Three Beers: Word Recognition and Sound Merger
The consequences for the process of spoken word recognition of changes-inprogress in the sound system of New Zealand English are investigated in a semantic priming experiment. For example, semantic associates of both beer (ie. wine) and bear (ie. hug) are facilitated after subjects have heard [bi\], while only hug is primed by [be\]. This result reflects the asymmetry found in speech production...
