Phonetics, phonology

In this book Archibald describes two studies conducted within a parametric framework in the area of second language acquisition.

This book is intended primarily as an original contribution to the investi- gation of the phonology of the two main languages spoken in Morocco.

Optimality Theory and Language Change: -discusses many optimization and linguistic issues in great detail; -treats the history of a variety of languages, including English, French, Germanic, Galician/Portuguese, Latin, Russian, and Spanish; -shows that the application of OT allows for innovative and improved analyses; -allows researchers that appeal to OT to see the connections of their (usually synchronic) work with diachronic studies; -contains a complete bibliography on Optimality Theory and language change.

This book is a revised version of my Ph.

One of the core challenges in linguistics is elucidating compounds-their formation as well as the reasons their structure varies between languages.

This volume explores the elusive subject of English prosody-the stress, rhythm and intonation of the language-, and its relevance for English language teaching.

Located at the intersection of phonology, psycholinguistics and phonetics, this volume offers the latest research findings in key areas of prosodic theory, including: *The relationship between intonation and pragmatics in speech production *Sentence modality prosody characterization *The role of pitch in quantity-based sound systems *Consonant-conditioned tone depression phonology across languages *The encoding of intonational contrasts in both intonational and tonal languages Featuring new data and ground-breaking results, the papers draw on empirical approaches that analyze production, perception and comprehension experiments such as the prepared speech paradigm and semantic scaling tasks.

This volume contains revised, expanded and updated versions of papers originally presented at the International Workshop on Phonological Structure held at the University of Durham in September 1994.

The author addresses a number of issues in German and general phonology, using a specific problem in German phonology (the ach/ich alternation) as a springboard.

This book is concerned with a number of central issues in the theory of clitics, a topic that has become much debated in recent years.

This book contains fourteen articles that reflect current ideas on the phonology, morphology, and syntax of clitics.

The 23rd UWM Linguistics Symposium (1996) brought together linguists of opposing theoretical approaches - functionalists and formalists - in order to determine to what extent these approaches really differ from each other and to what extent the approaches complement each other.

Any study of communication must take into account the nature and role of speech acts in a broad context.

Intonation, rhythm, and general “melody” of language are among the first aspects of speech that infants attend to and produce themselves.

The selected contributions in this volume bring together applications of pragmatics in speech and language pathology, as well as discussions of the applicability of different theoretical strands of the study of human linguistic interaction and its cognitive bases to the field of communication disorders.

The present volume represents a selection of papers presented at the International Symposium on Ideophones held in January 1999 in St.

The two volumes of the Phonological Spectrum aim at giving a comprehensive overview of current developments in phonological theory, by providing a number of papers in different areas of current theorizing which reflect on particular problems from different angles.

Twenty-one articles from the 31st LSRL investigate cutting-edge issues and interfaces across phonology, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, semantics, and syntax in multiple dialects of such Romance languages as Catalan, French, Creole French, and Spanish, both old and modern.

This book explores how speakers of Japanese organize their messages into coherent units as they jointly and interactively construct conversational discourse.

This volume contains a selection of refereed and revised papers, originally presented at the 30th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages, focussing on the areas of phonology and language variation.

Constraint-based frameworks such as Optimality Theory (OT) have significantly altered phonologists' views on the nature of derivations and their role in linguistic theory.

Unlike most monographs on Spanish phonology and morphology that approach these topics from a structuralist or generativist framework, this volume is written from a less traditional point of view.

This volume is a collection of cutting-edge research papers written by well-known researchers in the field of Romance phonetics and phonology.

This outstanding volume offers the first comprehensive collection of optimality-theoretic studies in Spanish phonology.

What counts as evidence in linguistics?

This volume focuses on the phonology, phonetics and psycholinguistics of voicing-related phenomena in Dutch.

This volume is a collection of 13 chapters, each devoted to a particular issue that is crucial to our understanding of the way learners acquire, learn, and use an L2 sound system.

Metrics is often defined as a discipline that concerns itself with the study of meters.

The papers included in the volume Phonetics and Phonology: Interactions and interrelations are concerned with some of the multiple possible forms of interactions and interrelations in phonetics and phonology: the phonetic and/or phonological nature of speech patterns, segmental and prosodic interactions, and interactions between segments and features, both in child and in adult language, combining perception and production data, and doing so from theoretically as well as experimentally oriented perspectives.

This volume offers a timely reconsideration of the function, content, and origin of phonological features, in a set of papers that is theoretically diverse yet thematically strongly coherent.
