초록
This study investigates the effects of the Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP) on consonant co-occurrence in English syllables, considering places of articulation of consonants. Previous studies have failed to present a model that can capture the gradient effects of the OCP. This study suggests that a Noisy Harmonic Grammar is an effective model to describe the gradience in consonant co-occurrence restrictions, focusing especially on inconsistency in coronal pairs. According to each O/E (observed frequency divided by expected frequency) values for consonant pairs, the effects of OCP-Place are obvious for labial-labial and dorsal-dorsal syllables, whereas coronal co-occurrences do not appear to be under any restrictions. To address this idiosyncrasy, this study introduces the effects of OCP-Manner and OCP-Voice on coronal pairs. According to the data from this study, coronal obstruent pairs and sonorant pairs are underrepresented and the restriction on coronal obstruent pairs becomes more obvious when coronal obstruent pairs are subdivided into voiced and voiceless pairs.
Abstract
This study investigates the effects of the Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP) on consonant co-occurrence in English syllables, considering places of articulation of consonants. Previous studies have failed to present a model that can capture the gradient effects of the OCP. This study suggests that a Noisy Harmonic Grammar is an effective model to describe the gradience in consonant co-occurrence restrictions, focusing especially on inconsistency in coronal pairs. According to each O/E (observed frequency divided by expected frequency) values for consonant pairs, the effects of OCP-Place are obvious for labial-labial and dorsal-dorsal syllables, whereas coronal co-occurrences do not appear to be under any restrictions. To address this idiosyncrasy, this study introduces the effects of OCP-Manner and OCP-Voice on coronal pairs. According to the data from this study, coronal obstruent pairs and sonorant pairs are underrepresented and the restriction on coronal obstruent pairs becomes more obvious when coronal obstruent pairs are subdivided into voiced and voiceless pairs.
