Colloquium: Some Half-Truths and Interim Conclusions about Liaison- Anne-Michelle Tessier, UBC
Colloquium: Some Half-Truths and Interim Conclusions about Liaison- Anne-Michelle Tessier, UBC
A very complicated issue in understanding morpho-phonological alternations concerns those phenomena that are pervasive, frequent, and phonotactically-motivated, and yet exceptionful and lexically-sensitive. To what extent are such processes, that apply idiosyncratically to different morphemes, words and even phrases, represented in a way that generalizes to novel forms? This talk examines this issue via the “well-plowed ground”*...

Psycholing/CompLing Seminar: Christian Muxica & Jesse Harris
Psycholing/CompLing Seminar: Christian Muxica & Jesse Harris
Selecting contextually relevant alternatives during comprehension An expression in focus is standardly taken to evoke a contextually salient set of alternatives to itself (Rooth 1992). In an influential study, Husband and Ferreira (2016) proposed that these alternative sets are derived online from the set of semantic associates primed by processing a word in focus. The...

Colloquium: Modeling early phonetic learning from natural speech- Naomi Feldman, University of Maryland
Colloquium: Modeling early phonetic learning from natural speech- Naomi Feldman, University of Maryland
Theories of language acquisition have typically been developed using an idealization of the phonetic learning problem. For example, phonetic category learning models have used input that is much less variable than the speech children hear and have assumed that learners already know which dimensions of the speech signal to pay attention to. In this talk,...
