An Evaluation of Universal Grammar and the Phonological Mind1
This paper argues against the hypothesis of a "phonological mind" advanced by Berent. It establishes that there is no evidence that phonology is innate and that, in fact, the simplest hypothesis seems to be that phonology is learned like other human abilities. Moreover, the paper fleshes out the original claim of Philip Lieberman that Universal Grammar predicts that not everyone should be able ...
متن کاملEvidence for Phonological Grammar in Speech Perception
This paper presents evidence from two experiments 1. that speakers of English use the phonotactics of English in analyzing speech input, and 2. that their phonotactic knowledge takes the form of categorical constraints stated in terms of phonological categories. Experimental results indicate that the phonotactic effect on ambiguous-segment perception is influenced by the relative markedness of ...
متن کاملFrom Quasispecies to Universal Grammar
The perspective of this paper is to compare mathematical models for the evolutionary dynamics of genomes and languages. The quasispecies equation describes the evolution of genetic sequences under the influence of mutation and selection. A central result is an error threshold which specifies the minimum replication accuracy required for maintaining genetic information of a certain length. The l...
متن کاملAcoustic and Perceptual Evidence for Universal Phonological Features
The human speech production apparatus consists of a number of articulators or structures that have the capability of producing somewhat continuous movements within particular ranges. However, with proper adjustment of postures of the respiratory system and of certain other articulators, the properties of the sound that is generated by these movements and the human responses to this sound tend t...
