Perspectives on phonological theory and development / edited by Ashley W. Farris-Trimble and Jessica a. Barlow

Material type: TextTextPublication details: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania : John Benjamins Publishing Company, c2014Description: viii, 256 pages ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9789027253187
Subject(s): LOC classification:
  • P 215 .P47 2014
Contents:
Section1. Representation and Contrast: What does the learner know? -- Sources of Individual differences in Phonological acquisition -- Cross-linguistic Approaches to Phonological Acquisition -- Section4. Theoretical Advances in the Field: Constraints-based approaches.
Summary: This paper explores super additivity effects in natural language by considering three interrelated phenomena in Colloquial Bambara (CB). The premise of super additivity is that although marked structures are accommodated in a system, particular structures cannot co-occur in a given domain. This arises because the simultaneous, additive violation of constraints within a domain arguably incurs an additional penalty. Thus, languages may limit the number of phonologically complex structures in a domain.
