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 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...
متن کاملA Phonological Modeling System Based on Autosegmental and Articulatory Phonology
This paper describes the design and implementation of a phonological modeling system based on autosegmental and articulatory phonology and its application in speech recognition. Pronunciation modeling is an integral part in speech recognition systems. Together with language modeling, signal processing and learning models (e.g. Hidden Markov model and neural network model), it innuences the perf...
متن کاملHow Concrete Is Phonology? Larry
University of California, Los Angeles This paper presents evidence for abstract phonology-that is, a phonology that recognizes underlying segments which are not realized phonetically. Two underlying vowel segments /o/ and /e/ are posited for Nupe (a Kwa language of Central Nigeria), both of which are realized as [a], therefore merging ('absolutely neutralizing') with /a/. Arguments based on pat...
