The Amphichronic Program vs. Evolutionary Phonology
نویسنده
چکیده
Evolutionary Phonology. Evolutionary Phonology seeks to derive typological generalizations from recurrent patterns of language change, themselves assumed to be rooted in perception, production, and acquisition. The goal is to eliminate UG by providing diachronic explanations for the cross-linguistic evidence that has been used to motivate it. (2) shows a schema of this program, where the arrows can be read as “explains” and/or “constrains”.1

Evolutionary Phonology as Human Behavior
Columbia School Linguistics views itself as a functional approach to language where problems, typically defined in terms of non-random skewings of sounds in the speech stream, are explained in terms of aspects of human behavior. In the realm of phonology, or sound patterns, the Columbia School was ahead of its time in formulating specific hypotheses where both phonetic and nonphonetic factors w...

Blevins’s Evolutionary Phonology attempts to derive most if not all synchronic phonological patterns from diachronic changes: “[R]ecurrent synchronic sound patterns are a direct reflection of their diachronic origins, and, more specifically...regular phonetically based sound change is the common source of recurrent sound patterns. Evolutionary Phonology...investigates this hypothesis and explor...

متن کاملIs Grammar Dependence Real
1. Introduction It has long been observed that the phonology of a language is not completely uniform. In addition to well-studied free variation in pronunciation of certain words or word classes, phonological patterns can vary by register, morphological category (e.g., noun vs. verb), lexical stratum (native vs. foreign), morphological class (stem vs. affix, reduplicant vs. base), and so forth....
متن کاملOn the use of Evolutionary Phonology for phonological theory
Theoretical phonology centrally focuses on representing the implicit knowledge that speakers have of the sound patterns in their language, as Blevins (this volume) points out on the first page of her synopsis. Equally important, according to Blevins, is it to provide explanations for the distribution of sound patterns across attested spoken languages. While this has been aimed at in numerous st...
