Word Blends as Sublexical Substitutions
The standard structural approach to word blends, such as noise 1 / sound 2 → nound , has been to assume they involve a splicing together of the two words, where part of word 2 is used to complete part of word 1 . The splice position has then been used as the source of mental lexicon generalizations. On the basis of 166 naturally occurring word blends, this article argues for a different approach—a “substitution” approach. The approach allows a co…
Problems of voice line-ups
This paper describes an experimental study which investigates the viability of the currently accepted ‘transcript method’ in the preparation of voice (ear witness) line-ups. Two such line-ups were built by the Ottawa Police in a recent investigation and both these line-ups are experimentally examined for bias. Subjects (n=72, n=90) were asked to respond to a number of questions about the voices in the line-ups and in both cases the suspect's voic…
The Halle-Vergnaud Sonorant Constituent
The experiment reported on here investigating the syllabic attachment of post-vocalic nasals and l grew out of an earlier experiment which compared the post-vocalic liquids r and l (Laubstein 1989). Using the error elicitation technique described in Motley et al (1983), induced errors involving Vr and Vl sequences were compared. The two sequences behaved quite differently, suggesting different syllabic attachments for the two liquids. Vowel- r se…
Syllable Structure
A competence grammar of English must account for the English speaker’s ability to predict the shape of the regular past tense morpheme on the basis of the stem-final segment, faced, for example, with a neologistic verb like *rolk or *glag . But whether efficient processing of known words routinely utilizes this creative ability is another matter. Efficient on-line processing may favour selection from a store over computation. To what extent selec…
