A relative clause analysis of Determiner Spreading in Kipsigis
Abstract:
Is prediction a central component of the sentence comprehension system? Perspectives from aphasia.
In certain experimental contexts, neurotypical young adult listeners predict the syntactic and semantic features of upcoming words. Evidently, these predictions benefit comprehenders both in the moment (by facilitating processing) and long-term (by facilitating ongoing language learning). However, prediction effects are less robust in other neurotypical populations (e.g., healthy older adults).
Tonal Timing in Articulatory Phonology: Evidence from Igbo Vowel Assimilation
Zsiga (1993, Yale doctoral dissertation) proposed an analysis of Igbo vowel assimilation in terms of gestural overlap in Articulatory Phonology (AP). Twenty-six years later, this presentation returns to that data, this time taking seriously the question of how tonal timing plays a role. While cross-linguistic patterns in the timing of tones and tone-bearing units (TBU’s) has been extensively investigated from an acoustic perspective, with theories of possible associations of H or L pitch targets to segments, moras, or syllables, little work has been done from an AP perspective.
