  • Acquisition of L2 French Object Pronouns by Advanced Anglophone Learners

    Open AccessJulia Herschensohn, Randall GeARTICLELanguages2018References: 44

    The role native language transfer plays in L2 acquisition raises the question of whether L1 constitutes a permanent representational deficit to mastery of the L2 morphosyntax and prosody or if it can eventually be overcome. Earlier research has shown that beginning and low intermediate Anglophone L2 French learners are insensitive to French morphosyntactic and prosodic constraints in using in situ pronouns transferred from the L1. The prosodic tr…

  • Reductive sound change and the perception/production interface

    Open AccessRandall Ge, Randall GessARTICLEThe Canadian Journal of…2009

    In this article, I propose a phonetically-oriented constraint-based model of speech production that differs from recent approaches in assuming preservation constraints that refer directly to articulatory gestures rather than to perceptual cues. Articulatory gesture preservation constraints interact with a constraint that penalizes the expenditure of articulatory effort. Specific constraints and rankings are projected from a static perceptual know…

  • Iggy Roca and Wyn Johnson (1999). A course in phonology . Oxford & Malden, Mass

    Open AccessRandall Ge, Randall GessARTICLEPhonology2000

    Roca & Johnson (R & J) are ambitious in their goals for A course in phonology (CP), now in its second printing. I would like to thank Dirk Elzinga and Sharon Hargus for helpful feedback on an earlier draft of this review. I would also like to thank Iggy Roca for his thorough commentary on that earlier draft, although I realise that he will likely remain unsatisfied with the present version. The book, intended for beginners (p. xv), covers what th…

  • Rethinking the Dating of Old French Syllable-Final Consonant Loss

    Randall Ge, Randall GessARTICLEDiachronica1999

    Based on the assumption that the loss of the Old French word-internal syllable-final consonants (/S/ ( = [s] and [z]), /N/ ( = all nasal consonants), forward a unified analysis of these changes according to which they should have taken place within two or three centuries, rather than the ten or eleven centuries that has previously been assumed. I provide empirical support for this analysis. Previous hypotheses, which treat the changes as entirely…

  • Compensatory lengthening and structure preservation revisited

    Open AccessRandall Ge, Randall GessARTICLEPhonology1998

    In de Chene & Anderson's (1979) article on compensatory lengthening, the authors make two strong claims as to the universal nature of compensatory lengthening. These claims are: (i) that compensatory lengthening occurs in two stages, involving the weakening of a consonant to a glide and the subsequent merger of the resulting diphthong; and (ii) that compensatory lengthening can only occur when there is a pre-existing vowel-length contrast in the …
