I reiterate that the arguments of this paper would hold even if none of the constraints are phonetically-motivated. What is crucial instead is the violability of constraints. 4 It would be possible to model the Japanese patterns in other models of grammar which deploy violable constraints, ...
“Case” identifies the syntactic relationship between words in a sentence. In Latin grammar, cases are based on variations in the morphological forms of the word, and are given the terms “accusative”, “nominative”, “dative”, etc. In English, the case category is realized in three ways...
Finnish, also part of the Uralic family, shares challenges with Hungarian, such as its agglutinative grammar and extensive case system. Pronunciation poses a particular difficulty for English speakers due to the language's phonetic richness and vowel harmony concept. Moreover, Finnish's limited use ...
Phonetic- ally, it can be realized as an affricate [dz] or a fricative [z]. Ogawa 小川尚義 (1907) and Ang 洪惟仁 (1997, 2003) argued that the two variants occur in a dialect-dependent fashion, with [dz] being more commonly found in the 泉 Chôan dialect and [z] being more ...
7 According to Transformational-Generative Grammar, the two sentences ―John is easy to please‖ and ―John is eager to please‖ have the same deep structure and surface structure. 8 G. Leech‘s conceptual meaning has two sides: sense and reference. 9 Speech act theory is in fact a theory...
In another study, participants with high language analytic abilities, based on their performance in an artificial grammar learn- ing task, showed more widespread activation generally, and higher right-hemispheric activity specifically, compared to those with average scores (Kepinska et al. 2017a)....
Kanji is one of the three writing systems for the Japanese language. It includes thousands ofsymbols which came to Japan from China. The symbols represent ideas rather than pronunciation. The other two Japanese alphabets, hiragana, and katakana, express Japanese syllables phonetically. There are 213...
English /s z/ indicates that voicing is not contrastive in Light Warlpiri fricatives at all POAs, and under that analysis, it can be argued that the ability of the participants to discriminate between /b v/ is due to reliance on a single labio-dental fricative (likely phonetically voiceless...
