Modelling regressive and progressive effects of assimilation in speech perception

Models of the perception of phonologically variant speech differ in the extent to which contextual information is used predictively versus regressively. These temporal disparities reflect similar differences in the experimental literature on the perception of English place assimilation (in which for example the place of the /n/ in lean bacon takes on the bilabial place of articulation of the fo...

On Innation as a Regressive Consumption Tax

Evidence on the portfolio holdings and transaction patterns of households suggests that the burden of innation is not evenly distributed. We build a monetary growth model consistent with key features of cross-sectional household data and use this framework to study the distributional impact of innation. At the aggregate level, our model economy behaves similarly to standard monetary growth mode...

Consonant Vowel Co-occurrence Patterns in Glossolalia

A preference for physiologically economical consonant vowel combinations labial+central vowel, coronal+front vowel and velar+back vowel has been identified as characteristic in infant babbling for a number of languages (Davis and MacNeilage 1990 and 1995, Zlatić et al. 1997, Texeira and Davis 2002.) In adult language, where perceptual needs demand combinatorial complexity, these patterns are le...

Regressive Analysis ∗

The regressive analytical method which can be generally understood as the way backward occurs in science on different levels. In scientific practice it represent research, i. e., activities of scientists when looking for the conditions necessary to solve given problems. On the methodological level it stands for ordering a given set of statements, and, finally, on the foundational level it gives...
