Abstract

Jeff Mielke presents the results of a crosslinguistic survey of natural classes of distinctive features covering almost 600 of the world's languages drawn from a variety of different families. In doing so he systematically tests the supposition that features are innate and universal rather than learned and language-specific.

Abstract

The aim of this book is to demonstrate that, in a representation-based model, the phonological organization of speech sounds within a word is reducible to the licensing properties of nuclei with respect to structurally defined complexities which pose varying demands on the licenser. It is assumed that the primitive licensing relation is that between a nucleus and its onset (O N). There are two main types of complexities concerning the onset position. Substantive complexity is an important aspect of phonological organisation at the melodic level, while the syllabic configurations in which the onset may be found are referred to under the heading of formal complexity.At the melodic level, complexity is defined in terms of the number of privative primes called elements. The asymmetries in the subsegmental representations of consonants and vowels are shown to play a pivotal role in understanding a number of phenomena, such as typological patterns, markedness effects, phonological processes, segmental inventories, and, what is most important, the model allows us to see a direct connection between phonological representations and processes. For example, the deletion of [g] in Welsh initial mutations is strictly related to the fact that the prime which crucially defines this object also happens to be the target of Soft Mutation.The complexity at the syllabic level is defined in terms of formal onset configurations called governing relations, of which some are easier to license than others. The formal complexity scale is not rerankable, and corresponds directly to the markedness of syllabic types. Since each formal configuration requires licensing from the following nucleus, syllable typology can be directly derived from the licensing strength of nuclei. The interaction between the higher prosodic organisation, for example, the level of the foot, and the syllabic level is also easily expressible in this model because higher prosody is built on nuclei. Therefore, prosody may tamper with the status of nuclei as licensers by deeming some of them as prosodically weaker than others, thus producing a non-rerankable scale of nuclear licensers (a " P). The inclusion of the empty nucleus as a possible licenser allows us to unify the scale of relatively marked contexts in segmental phenomena, and also to account for such problems as extrasyllabicity, complex clusters, super heavy rhymes, and other exceptional strings. The role of nuclei as licensers in unifying various levels of phonological representation from melody to word structure is unquestionable. There are other areas of phonological theory which can be expressed in this model. These include the role of nuclear strength scales in register switches, dialectal variation, historical development, language acquisition, and the interaction between phonology and morphology.

Abstract

The present volume is a significant and up-to-date contribution to the debate on the relation between phonetics and phonology, provided by researchers from different countries and representing diversified theoretical positions. The authors of the papers included in this collection analyze selected phenomena situated on the border between phonetics and phonology in various languages, such as English, Italian, Welsh, Polish, German, Southern Saami, Saraiki, and many others, in order to shed mor...

Abstract

Comment passer de la quantité (la mesure) à la qualité (le grain), bref, des méthodes quatitatives aux évaluations? Des chaînes de caractères aux formes sémantiques? Du document numérique au texte, voire à l'oeuvre? Comment enfin articuler des critères globaux intéressants le genre du texte, le discours dont il relève, le corpus où il prend son sens? Informé par la linguistique de corpus, cet ouvrage aborde les problèmes philologiques et herméneutiques que pose l'étude de corpus numérique en fonction des tâches et des disciplines. Il s'attache ainsi à la typologie des genres et des discours, à la descrption des formes et des fonds sémantiques, au repérage de thèmes, à la caractérisation et à l'évolution de concepts, à l'étude des corrélations entre contenu et expression. Épistémologie, méthodologie; descrpitions empiriques et applications vont ici de pair. Les analyses présentées portent sur des textes littéraires, philosophiques et scientifiques. Alors que les sciences de la culture font l'objet de nouvelles demandes sociales, la linguistique de corpus fait ses preuves en recherche d'information, en représentation des connaissances, en analyse des sites web : cet ouvrage présente et détaille des exemples d'applications. L'analyse assistée de corpus est en passe de modifier les pratiques voire les théories en lettres et sciences socialeS. Toutes les disciplines ont maintenant afaire à des documents numériques, ce qui engage pour elels un nouveau rapport à l'empirique. En exploitant les corpus numériques, les sciences de la culture trouvent ainsi de nouvelles perspectives épistémologiques et méthodologiques, voire un projet fédérateur.

Abstract

The aim of this essay is to present a phonological analysis of Lushai, a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the Mizoram province of India, in terms of componential features applying - as mutation rules - to the morphophonological level. An analysis of this nature becomes possible if the concepts of phonological extension systems and redundancy-free representations are introduced. Alongside with the phonemic aspect, a semantic analysis of morpheme structure is required yielding the smallest significant units at different morphological or syntactic levels.
