SUMMARY:Colloquium Talk with Gillian Gallagher
DESCRIPTION:Phonetic variability and natural class phonotacticsGillian Gallagher\, NYU \nPhonological patterns are stated over classes of sounds\, usually defined based on a shared phonetic property. Phonetic sound changes and phonetic variation\, however\, are both extremely common\, and easily result in a language showing a phonological pattern over a class of segments that cannot be easily defined given the synchronic phonetic system. In this talk\, I look at such a case in South Bolivian Quechua\, where the etymological plain uvular stop /q/ has lenited to a sonorant \, among several other variants. Despite this change in phonetics\, the sound still patterns with the other stops with respect to phonotactic restrictions. Like other stops\, this sound is absent from coda position\, and like other stops\, this sound is prohibited from cooccurring with a following aspirate or ejective. \nI present the results of acoustic analysis of spontaneous speech\, leading to a description of the lenition pattern across speakers and phonological contexts\, and explore the consequences of phonetic variation for an inductive learning model of phonotactics. I then present the results of an experiment supporting the cognitive reality of phonotactic restrictions on /q/. \nFaculty host: Kie Zuraw. \nZoom link will be available one week before the talk. Email the Colloquium Committee at uclacolloquium@gmail.com to be added to the listserv. For guest outside of UCLA\, please submit an RSVP for colloquiums you would like to attend.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Nathan Klinedinst - Anaphora and Identity
DESCRIPTION:In prominent theories pronouns are treated as having (in effect) descriptive content\, to explain the possibility of anaphora on indefinites outside their binding domain. We discuss some data that appears to be problematic for these approaches\, and consider as an alternative\, a view that treats pronouns as simple variables and tracks anaphoric dependencies separately.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Will Styler - Using Transparent Machine Learning to study Human Speech
DESCRIPTION:Using Transparent Machine Learning to study Human Speech \n  \nMachine learning\, the use of nuanced computer models to analyze and predict data\, has a long history in speech recognition and natural language processing\, but has largely been limited to more applied\, engineering tasks.  This talk will describe two more research-focused applications of transparent machine learning algorithms in the study of speech perception and production. \nFor speech perception\, we’ll examine the difficult problem of identifying acoustic cues to a complex phonetic contrast\, in this case\, vowel nasality.  Here\, by training machine learning algorithms on acoustic measurements\, we can more directly measure the informativeness of the various acoustic features to the contrast.  This by-feature informativeness data was then used to create hypotheses about human cue usage\, and then\, to model the observed human patterns of perception\, showing that these models were able to predict not only the utilized cue\, but the subtle patterns of perception arising from less informative changes. \nFor speech production\, we’ll focus on data from Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA)\, which provides position data for the articulators with high temporal and spatial resolution\, and discuss our ongoing efforts to identify and characterize pause postures (specific vocal tract configurations at prosodic boundaries\, c.f. Katsika et al. 2014) in the speech of 7 speakers of American English.  Here\, the lip aperture trajectories of 800+ individual pauses were gold-standard annotated by a member of the research team\, and then subjected to principal component analysis.  These analyses were then used to train a support vector machine (SVM) classifier\, which achieved a 96% classification accuracy in cross validation tests\, with a Cohen’s Kappa showing machine-to-annotator agreement of 0.79\, suggesting the potential for improvements in speed\, consistency\, and objective characterization of gestures. \nThese methods of modeling feature importance and classifying curves using transparent and interpretable machine learning both demonstrate concrete methods which are potentially useful and applicable to a variety of questions in phonetics\, and potentially\, in linguistics in general.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Lyn Frazier
DESCRIPTION:Topic situations and domain restriction      \nLyn Frazier \nUniversity of Massachusetts Amherst \nTopic Situations are discussed in several guises in the linguistics literature. Austinian Topic Situations (Austin\, 1950) are familiar in situation semantics\, where sentences are true of partial worlds\, not entire worlds\, and people hold attitudes toward partial worlds (Barwise and Perry\, 1983\, Kratzer\, 1989\, 2017). McKenzie (2015) discusses non-canonical switch reference in Kiowa (citing Watkins\, 1993) using the example in (1)\, where the ‘same subject’ marker gàu is used to indicate that the conjoined clauses refer to the same writing situation. \n(1)  Kathryn gà=gύt gàu Esther=àl gà=gύt\n“Kathryn wrote a letter and Esther wrote one too.” \nThe same sentence with the ‘different subject’ morpheme nàu indicates that the conjoined clauses refer to different situations. \nFrazier and Clifton (2018) proposed the topic situation hypothesis in (2) (see also Bestgen and Piérard\, 2014\, Schwarz\, 2019). \n(2)  Topic situation hypothesis: Initial temporal and locative PPs in English introduce topic situations. By default\, following material is included in the topic situation until a new topic situation\, or incompatible information\, is encountered. Other things equal\, the topic situation supplies the preferred context for implicit domain restriction. \nThe results of several interpretation and naturalness judgment experiments support the predictions of the topic situation hypothesis. \nWe will then look more closely at domain restriction in an attempt to understand the linguistic and processing mechanisms involved in supplying unstated context. Studies of time dependent nouns (In 1960\, the senator …) confirm that initial temporal phrases\, which by hypothesis introduce a topic situation\, are more likely to restrict the interpretation of the noun than do sentence-final temporal phrases\, which by hypothesis do not introduce a topic situation.  However\, noun class does not seem to be particularly important:  clearly relational nouns are not particularly likely to be restricted by the topic situation\, as might have been expected if domain restriction were a bottom-up process triggered by the nominal. The results perhaps fit best with Schwarz’s account where definite DPs have a situation variable which may be interpreted using the topic situation\, may be bound by a higher operator\, or may remain unbound. We will conclude by looking at whether indefinites\, and generic sentences\, pattern with definites. \nReferences \nBarwise\, J.\, & Perry\, J. (1983). Situations and Attitudes.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Nancy Hall\, "Incomplete phonetic neutralization: What Arabic can bring to the debate"\, California State University\, Long Beach
DESCRIPTION:Arabic has played a central role in the development of phonological theory\, with the challenge of describing its complex and interacting alternations spurring theoretical developments from the cycle to variants of Optimality Theory. The phonetic study of these alternations\, however\, has attracted less attention. In this talk\, I give an overview of one controversial topic in phonetic research\, the incomplete phonetic neutralization of contrasts\, in which evidence from Arabic has only recently begun to enter the decades-old debate. I propose that patterns of phonetic neutralization are affected by the root-and-pattern morphology of Arabic\, and may shed light on lexical organization in such systems. \nSee you there!
