This paper aims to answer the question whether there is any difference in learning allomorphs of a morpho-phonological pattern which differ in the likelihood of phonological processes. Broadly, there are two views on how the allomorphs are represented in the mental lexicon. The PHONOLOGY (P) view prioritizes the phonological analysis of the allomorphs and posits a single underlying representation whereas the MORPHEME LISTING (ML) view memorizes all the allomorphs and lists multiple representations. To investigate the question, artificial grammar learning experiments were conducted which compared how well learners could learn allomorphy patterns that were more or less amenable to a phonological analysis under the P view. The P view predicts that there will be a difference in learning the allomorphs, whereas the ML view predicts that there will be no difference in learning because listing the morphemes are the same in each grammar. The results of the series of experiments conducted consistently reject the view that speakers just memorize which allomorphs are used in which phonological environments. A more careful examination of the results points to a more complex interplay between phonological and morphological learning.
Abstract
This paper aims to answer the question whether there is any difference in learning allomorphs of a morpho-phonological pattern which differ in the likelihood of phonological processes. Broadly, there are two views on how the allomorphs are represented in the mental lexicon. The PHONOLOGY (P) view prioritizes the phonological analysis of the allomorphs and posits a single underlying representation whereas the MORPHEME LISTING (ML) view memorizes all the allomorphs and lists multiple representations. To investigate the question, artificial grammar learning experiments were conducted which compared how well learners could learn allomorphy patterns that were more or less amenable to a phonological analysis under the P view. The P view predicts that there will be a difference in learning the allomorphs, whereas the ML view predicts that there will be no difference in learning because listing the morphemes are the same in each grammar. The results of the series of experiments conducted consistently reject the view that speakers just memorize which allomorphs are used in which phonological environments. A more careful examination of the results points to a more complex interplay between phonological and morphological learning.
