Reduplicative identity driven by surface correspondence
This article focusses on the identity effect found in reduplication and how it can be accounted for in a formal theory. Specifically, this article demonstrates that the diminutive reduplication in Huozhou Chinese offers new empirical evidence supporting a correspondence-based analysis of reduplication. The reduplicative patterns can be understood as an effect of Agreement by Correspondence (ABC), thereby confirming a previously overlooked predict…

Learning from the Input: A Corpus-Based Investigation of Chinese Classifiers in Children’s Books and Child-Directed Speech
In Mandarin Chinese, numeral classifiers form a grammatical category that is syntactically obligatory when a noun is modified by a numeral or a demonstrative. The appropriate choice of a classifier is associated with the semantic properties of its corresponding noun and is context dependent. Experience with language is needed to learn these patterns, but little is known about how classifiers are structured in children's language environments. We …

Awareness of Rights among College Students: The Overstepping of Rights Leading to Doxxing
Currently, the act of doxxing transcends both the virtual and real realms, emerging as a significant form for young people, including college students, to voice their opinions and safeguard their rights. However, the motivation behind this behavior often manifests as venting anger, attracting attention, and seeking entertainment. In essence, the act of naming and shaming online embodies a desire for the redistribution of benefits, an expectation …
Floating mora affixation in Huozhou diminutive subtraction
This paper argues for an item-and-arrangement approach by demonstrating that the diminutive form in Huozhou Chinese results from the affixation of a floating mora. Diminutives in Huozhou Chinese are formed by deleting the final non-vocalic segment of a syllable, along with some subsegmental changes (e.g., [phɑŋ35] ‘plate’, [phaː35] ‘plate.DIM’). This paper provides a detailed description of these patterns and proposes that the underlying represen…

Temporal Coordination and Markedness in Moenat Ladin Consonant Clusters
In this paper we examine the phonotactics of consonant clusters in Moenat Ladin in terms of their markedness and temporal coordination. Moenat Ladin word-initial clusters include sibilant-stop (SC), stop-/r/ (Cr), stop-/l/ (Cl), and sibilant-stop-/r/ (SCr). However, despite SC and Cl sequences being well-formed in Moenat, sibilant-stop-/l/ (SCl) clusters are almost entirely unattested. We hypothesize that the rarity of SCl clusters owes to a cumu…

Quantified exponence constraints and the typology of exponence
Both phonologically conditioned suppletive allomorphy (PCSA) and multiple exponence (ME) involve one-to-many mapping between morphosyntactic information and phonological representations. Though they are usually viewed as separate phenomena, the plural marking of Lower Jubba Maay exhibits properties of both PCSA and ME, indicating that they are inherently related. This paper argues that PCSA, ME, and other types of exponence can be analyzed in a u…
Image-based food portion size estimation using a smartphone without a fiducial marker
Objective Current approaches to food volume estimation require the person to carry a fiducial marker (e.g. a checkerboard card), to be placed next to the food before taking a picture. This procedure is inconvenient and post-processing of the food picture is time-consuming and sometimes inaccurate. These problems keep people from using the smartphone for self-administered dietary assessment. The current bioengineering study presents a novel smartp…
