متن کاملAcquisition of early words from single-word and sentential contexts.
Toddlers 15 and 18 months of age were exposed to audiovisual recordings of two novel words paired with novel toys. The words were presented in familiar sentence frames or in isolation. Linguistic context had a greater effect on younger than on older infants. Specifically, 15-month-old boys exhibited successful learning only in the context of single words, and 15-month-old girls did so only for ...
متن کاملAdaptation to Unexpected Word-Forms in Highly Predictive Sentential Contexts
Readers and listeners rely upon previous experience to generate predictions about multiple aspects of an unfolding linguistic signal. Error signals elicited by unexpected input feed forward to higher-level units, serving in the adjustment of expectancies and thus increasing the precision of predictions in that context. When a syntactic ambiguity is resolved with a dis-preferred continuation, a ...
متن کاملFinal Devoicing and the Stratification of the Lexicon in German 1. Final Devoicing in the Absolute Final Position 1.1 Data and Pre-ot Analyses
This paper examines German Final Devoicing in OT and shows that a full account of the data requires not only an explanation for Final Devoicing itself, but also a model of the stratification of the lexicon. The point of departure of this study is the observation that although various recently proposed analyses of German Final Devoicing in OT seem to make equally good predictions for the voicing...

However, final rises are neither characteristic for every question type (e. g. wh-questions, alternative questions) nor compulsory in any [25, 32, 34]. Furthermore, they are frequently associated with non-final statements and thus not rest...
