Is it time to redefine the boundaries of phonology? A response to Archibald
When examined more closely, some of the second language patterns discussed in Professor John Archibald’s article ‘Waiting in the wings: The place of phonology in the study of multilingual grammars’ rely on subphonemic acoustic cues rather than abstract structure, and therefore provide only precarious scaffolding for the claim that second language (L2) behavior must be understood in terms of phonology as traditionally conceived. I argue that these…
The Cambridge Handbook of Bilingual Phonetics and Phonology
Bilingualism and the study of speech sounds are two of the largest areas of inquiry in linguistics. This Handbook sits at the intersection of these fields, providing a comprehensive overview of the most recent, cutting-edge work on the sound systems of adult and child bilinguals. Bringing together contributions from an international team of world-leading experts, it covers all aspects of the speech perception, production and processing of bilingu…
Do L1 tone language speakers enjoy a perceptual advantage in processing English contrastive prosody
This study compared the ability of English monolinguals and Mandarin–English bilinguals to make use of English contrastive prosody not only in natural speech but also in masked speech, in which the only available information was prosodic. In contrast to earlier studies (Choi et al., 2019; Choi, 2021; Tong et al., 2015) which found that L1 tone language speakers outperformed native speakers in tasks involving the use of pitch to identify stress po…
Too little, too late
This study tracks the production of English corrective focus by Mandarin speakers (MS) living in the US over a two-year period. We show that the MS differed from English speakers (ES) in the alignment of the corrective focus pitch accent: while ES productions typically showed a pitch peak on the stressed syllable, followed by an abrupt fall, the pitch rise and fall for MS was later and less steep. While the MS productions became more English-like…

Differential Difficulty in the Acquisition of Second Language Phonology
This paper reports on Mandarin speakers' acquisition of English final voiced and voiceless obstruents and final labial nasals, none of which occur in Mandarin codas. The leamers' production patterns are compared with a simulation using the Gradual Leaming Algorithm (Boersma & Hayes 2001). We dernonstrate that when the Mandarin Chinese rankings are assumed as the initial state and this system is provided with representative English input, the GLA …
Constraints in phonological acquisition (review)
tics. Overall, this book showcases not only the diversity of languages and dialects found in thesestates, but also the diversity of approaches to describing and understanding that diversity. Ofcourse even in this project, there remain gaps. For example, a contribution on Michigan’s thrivingArabic-speaking communities (noted on p. iv) would have been welcome. The success of thisproject should certainly encourage those in other states and areas to …
Unmarked structures and emergent rankings in second language phonology
One of the most interesting features of language contact situations involves the appearance of systematic patterns that are not manifested in either of the two languages in contact. A full analysis of such patterns may require constraint rankings that differ from those of both the native and the target languages. I examine possible sources of these constraint rankings with respect to the devoicing of final obstruents in learners whose native lang…
Marginal phonology
As has long been recognized, the isomorphism between word edges and word-internal syllable edges is far from perfect. This paper examines the fit between an Optimality-Theoretic account of edge/interior asymmetries, using position-specific faithfulness constraints to protect edges or interiors of morphological constituents, and the actual typology of attested edge/interior asymmetries. A detailed analysis of the Indonesian language Balantak, in w…

Syllable weight
In some languages, syllable weight depends exclusively on vowel length, while in others, coda consonants add weight to syllables. In this paper we assume that syllable weight is reflected in moraic structure, and that weight-bearing coda consonants are the exclusive dependents of a mora, while weightless consonants share a mora with the preceding vowel. We consider whether the durations of vowels and coda consonants reflect the distinction betwee…

Parameter setting in second language phonology and syntax
This paper reports on studies of second language acquisition in two domains, phonology and syntax. The phenomena investigated were the acquisition by native speakers of Hindi, Japanese, and Korean of two areas of English: in phonology, the mastery of particular syllable onset clusters, and in syntax, the acquisition of the binding patterns of reflexive anaphors. Both these areas are ones for which multi-valued parameters have been posited to acco…

Phonology
This article serves as Chapter 7, "Phonological Systems," within a broader introductory text on phonology. It delves into the organization of phonological systems, exploring how sounds are grouped into natural classes based on shared phonetic features. The chapter likely covers concepts such as distinctive features, feature matrices, and the relationships between sounds within a language's system, including discussions of phoneme inventories, pho…
