Teasing Apart Two Trees
A widely-studied model for generating binary sequences is to ‘evolve’ them on a tree according to a symmetric Markov process. We show that under this model distinguishing the true (model) tree from a false one is substantially “easier” (in terms of the sequence length needed) than determining the true tree. The key tool is a new and tight Ramsey-type result for binary trees.
متن کاملPhonological processing differences in bilinguals and monolinguals.
The present study examined whether monolinguals and balanced bilinguals perceive speech sounds similarly or whether the two phonological systems in bilinguals interact so that one language is affected by the other. Two groups, monolingual native speakers of Finnish and balanced Finnish-Swedish bilinguals, were tested. We measured mismatch negativity (MMN) responses and used individually selecte...
متن کاملDifferential recruitment of executive control regions during phonological competition in monolinguals and bilinguals.
Behavioral research suggests that monolinguals and bilinguals differ in how they manage within-language phonological competition when listening to language. The current study explored whether bilingual experience might also change the neural resources recruited to control spoken-word competition. Seventeen Spanish-English bilinguals and eighteen English monolinguals completed an fMRI task in wh...
متن کاملStops and Phrasing in Korean and English Monolinguals and Bilinguals
The theoretical status of early bilinguals is an area of some controversy. This study investigates subphonemic variation in Korean and English by monolinguals, and bilinguals who were born in the US (simultaneous), moved to the US as young children (early), or moved to the US during late adolescence (late). Speakers were recorded producing word-initial stops in a phrase-medial context. Measurem...
متن کاملLanguage Learning and Control in Monolinguals and Bilinguals
Parallel language activation in bilinguals leads to competition between languages. Experience managing this interference may aid novel language learning by improving the ability to suppress competition from known languages. To investigate the effect of bilingualism on the ability to control native-language interference, monolinguals and bilinguals were taught an artificial language designed to ...
