Semantic and morphophonological productivity in the Kîîtharaka gender system
Nominal classification systems are characterized by diverse and sometimes complex gender assignment rules that interact in dynamic ways. The specifics of how gender assignment works can vary widely from language to language. Nominal classification systems of Bantu languages in particular have been the subject of long-standing debate. Traditional accounts of gender assignment are based principally on abstract semantic features which have been foun…
The impact of top management team's innovation orientation on organizational ambidexterity in transitional economies
Organizational ambidexterity plays an essential role in understanding how firms compete and prosper in dynamic environments. However, our understanding of the antecedents and effects of organizational ambidexterity is primarily derived from studies conducted in developed economies, while transitional economies with their unique characteristics and challenges are less well understood. Grounded in upper echelon theory, this paper contends that the …
Marginal contrast in loanword phonology
Though Dutch is usually described as lacking a voicing contrast at the velar place of articulation, due to intense language contact and heavy lexical borrowing, a contrast between /k/ and /g/ has recently been emerging. We explored the status of this contrast in Dutch speakers in both production and perception. We asked participants to produce loanwords containing a /g/ in the source language (e.g., goal) and found a range of productions, includi…
Tonal Ebb, Sunken II Chords, and Text-Music Correspondences in Robert Schumann’s Lieder
In this article, I posit and develop the principle of tonal ebb to account for breaches of harmonic syntax in the normative tonal flow of common practice era music, with special reference to V going to II. Though typically forbidden, V—II progressions occasionally arise in a handful of special cases. Rarely, one may encounter a sunken II chord : this is my term for an apparent, diatonic II chord that arises from contrapuntal motion within V in ma…
Vowel Harmony and Disharmony Are Not Equivalent in Learning
General vowel harmony and disharmony rules have comparable formal complexity but differ dramatically in typological frequency and phonetic motivation. Previous studies found no difference in learning between vowel harmony and disharmony; this putative equivalence has been used to discount the view that learners are influenced by substantive learning biases. In the current study, we use a more nuanced test to show that there is a clear difference …
Experimental evidence for the influence of structure and meaning on linear order in the noun phrase
Recent work has used artificial language experiments to argue that hierarchical representations drive learners’ expectations about word order in complex noun phrases like these two green cars (Culbertson & Adger 2014; Martin, Ratitamkul, et al. 2019). When trained on a novel language in which individual modifiers come after the Noun, English speakers overwhelmingly assume that multiple nominal modifiers should be ordered such that Adjectives come…
Phonetically natural rules benefit from a learning bias
Substance-based phonological theories predict that a preference for phonetically natural rules (those which reflect constraints on speech production and perception) is encoded in synchronic grammars, and translates into learning biases. Some previous work has shown evidence for such biases, but methodological concerns with these studies mean that the question warrants further investigation. We revisit this issue by focusing on the learning of pal…
Cross-linguistic evidence for cognitive universals in the noun phrase
Noun phrase word order varies cross-linguistically, however, two distributional asymmetries have attracted substantial attention. First, the most common orders place adjectives closest to the noun, then numerals, then demonstratives (e.g., N-Adj-Num-Dem). Second, exceptions to this are restricted to post-nominal position (e.g., N-Dem-Num-Adj, but not, for instance, Adj-Num-Dem-N). These observations have been argued to reflect constraints on cogn…
Assessing the distinctiveness of phonological features in word recognition
Consonants are More Important than Vowels in the Bouba-kiki Effect
Adult listeners systematically associate certain speech sounds with round or spiky shapes, a sound-symbolic phenomenon known as the “bouba-kiki effect.” In this study, we investigate the respective influences of consonants and vowels in this phenomenon. French participants were asked to match auditorily presented pseudowords with one of two visually presented shapes, one round and one spiky. The pseudowords were created by crossing either two con…
