Dynamics of Phonological Cognition

چکیده
A fundamental problem in spoken language is the duality between the continuous aspects of phonetic performance and the discrete aspects of phonological competence. We study 2 instances of this problem from the phenomenon of voicing neutralization and vowel harmony. In each case, we present a model where the experimentally observed continuous distinctions are linked to the discreteness of phonological form using the mathematics of nonlinear dynamics.

متن کاملDisorders of phonological encoding.
Studies of phonological disturbances in aphasic speech are reviewed. It is argued that failure to test for error consistency in individual patients makes it generally improper to draw inferences about specific disorders of phonological encoding. A minimalist interpretation of available data on phonological errors is therefore proposed that involves variable loss of information in transmission b...
متن کاملAccessing short-term memory with semantic and phonological information: a time-course analysis.
The time course for accessing short-term memory representations on the basis of item, phonological, and semantic information was measured with a speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT) variant of a recognition probe task. Subjects studied 5-word lists and then judged whether a test word (1) was in the study list (item judgment); (2) rhymed with a word in the study list (rhyme judgment); or (3) was a syno...
متن کاملA dynamical model of the speech perception-production link
How and to what extent the speech production and perception systems are linked is a question of longstanding debate (cf. Diehl, Lotto, & Holt, 2004; Galantucci, Fowler, & Turvey, 2006). Despite the long history of this debate and a vast number of studies providing experimental evidence indicating an intimate link between perception and production, formal proposals of this link have been conspic...
متن کاملNeural Cognitions of Perceiving Chinese Characters: Phonological versus Logographical Effects
The study is aimed to study phonological versus logographical effects in neural cognitions when perceiving Chinese characters. The paradigm has a series of figural animal, ancient pictographic Chinese character, modern Chinese character, and mandarin-based syllables. Participants are grouped by two levels of word recognition skills, the mastered-group and the learner-group. The current study us...
