“…Five manner-describing parameters are proposed, which lead to four preferences. In analogy to place of articulation, distances (12) are measured according to Dziubalska-Kołaczyk (2009. Here, a distance of one holds between two consecutive manners: plosives -affricates -fricativesnasals -liquids -glides.…”

The objective of this contribution is to provide an analysis of consonant clusters based on the assumption that phonotactic preferences are encoded in phonological features of individual segments forming a cluster. This encoding is expressed by a set of parameters established for the following features: complexity, place of articulation, manner of articulation and voicing. On the basis of empirically observed tendencies of feature distribution and co-occurrence, novel phonotactic preferences for English word-initial consonant clusters are proposed. Statistical methods allow us to weigh the preferences and determine a ranking of phonological features in cluster formation.

“…Phonological processes are modifications in speech resulting from an articulatory or perceptual difficulty (Dziubalska-Kołaczyk, 2006; Stampe, 1979). These include substitutions of certain speech sounds with others (e.g., substituting the sound /r/ with /l/), deletions of speech sounds (omitting an articulatorily difficult sound from a word), epentheses (insertions) of additional speech sounds (e.g., inserting vowels in-between consonants in a difficult cluster), and articulatory offshoots in the production of a sound (inaccurate or altered articulation).…”

Bilingual language development might be characterized by transfer, deceleration, and/or acceleration, the first two being relevant for the language impairment diagnosis. Studies on bilingual children’s productive phonology show evidence of transfer, but little is known about deceleration in this population. Here, we focused on phonological transfer and deceleration in L1 speech of typically developing Polish-English bilingual children of Polish migrants to the United Kingdom (aged 4.7–7). We analyzed L1 speech samples of 30 bilinguals and 2 groups of Polish monolinguals, matched to the bilinguals on age or vocabulary size. We found that bilingual children’ speech (both simultaneous and early sequential) was characterized by transfer, but not by deceleration, suggesting that while phonological deceleration phases out in children above the age of 4.7, transfer does not. We discuss our findings within the PRIMIR model of bilingual phonological acquisition (Curtin et al., 2011) and show their implications for SLT practices.

On the replicator dynamics of lexical stress: accounting for stress-pattern diversity in terms of evolutionary game theory

This paper accounts for stress-pattern diversity in languages such as English, where words that are otherwise equivalent in terms of phonotactic structure and morphosyntactic category can take both initial and final stress, as seen in ˈlentil–hoˈtel, ˈenvoy–deˈgree, ˈresearchN–reˈsearchNand ˈaccessV–acˈcessV. Addressing the problem in general and abstract terms, we identify systematic conditions under which stress-pattern diversity becomes stable. We hypothesise that words adopt stress patterns that produce, on average, the best possible phrase-level rhythm. We model this hypothesis in evolutionary game theory, predict that stress-pattern diversity among polysyllabic word forms depends on the frequency of monosyllables and demonstrate how that prediction is met both in Present-Day English and in its history.
