After having given the reasons why it is legitimate to dedicate a special attention to the oral code with regard to the written code, we propose an approach to the automatic generation of French phonetic inflected forms. We shall examine it first inside the general context of automatic phoneticization, with a special attention to the phoneticization of loanwords. We shall then give the methodol...

Angola is characterized by many different languages and social, cultural political realities, which had a marked effect on Angolan Portuguese (AP). Consequently, AP diatopic variation. One of the effects in loanwords imported from other languages. Our objective to analyze texts, lexical forms used conduct comparative study with European Portuguese, whose aim identify possible Angolan. This proc...

The prosody of a prototypical Norwegian word is characterized by the following properties: (i) it is disyllabic, (ii) the initial syllable is bimoraic and stressed, and (iii) the final syllable is monomoraic and unstressed (Kristoffersen 2000). The weight of the initial syllable can be realized either with a long vowel or by closing the syllable, e.g. with a geminate. Norwegian words can also b...

This paper will outline some of the restrictions on what can and cannot appear at the end of a Burmese word. We will see that historical changes have resulted in a rather unusual phonotactic distribution. By looking at how Burmese speakers treat foreign loanwords in their language, it will be revealed what phonological principles the Burmese have generated in order to make sense of their phonot...

Source-similarity effects in loanword adaptation are formalized in Correspondence Theory (McCarthy and Prince, 1995). A correspondence relation holds between the loanword and the pLs representation, the borrower’s posited representation of the source-language form; including the pLs representation in the model allows a consistent account of the interaction between phonological adaptation proces...

This paper focuses on loanword phonology in the context of Spanish words that have become part English lexicon 20th century. The background section shows attention has been paid to used from a lexical point view, but scarcely regarding phonology. Furthermore, few existing studies do not deal depth with and as an example crosslinguistic contact. Therefore, this aims at contributing explanation p...
