초록
Japanese listeners often have difficulties perceiving consonant clusters accurately and report hearing a vowel between the consonants, despite Japanese speakers producing numerous consonant clusters that result from a highly productive high vowel devoicing process. This poses a substantial challenge for phonological learning, as the task is to learn the strong CVCV preference in Japanese based on surface consonant clusters that violate this very preference. The current study investigates this learnability issue by building a computational model that induces Optimality Theoretic (OT) phonotactic constraints based strictly on overt speech. Two versions of the model are tested: one with classic OT-style faithfulness constraints that penalize violations, and one with positive constraints that reward sequences conforming to the constraints. Both have traditional markedness constraints. The results show that positive constraints are superior to faithfulness constraints in modeling phonotactic repair.
Abstract
Japanese listeners often have difficulties perceiving consonant clusters accurately and report hearing a vowel between the consonants, despite Japanese speakers producing numerous consonant clusters that result from a highly productive high vowel devoicing process. This poses a substantial challenge for phonological learning, as the task is to learn the strong CVCV preference in Japanese based on surface consonant clusters that violate this very preference. The current study investigates this learnability issue by building a computational model that induces Optimality Theoretic (OT) phonotactic constraints based strictly on overt speech. Two versions of the model are tested: one with classic OT-style faithfulness constraints that penalize violations, and one with positive constraints that reward sequences conforming to the constraints. Both have traditional markedness constraints. The results show that positive constraints are superior to faithfulness constraints in modeling phonotactic repair.
