Beckman (Chair) Elizabeth V. Hume Advisor Michel T.T. Jackson Department of Linguistics Copyright by Sun-Ah Jun 1993 To my parents and my husband ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During the course of my graduate studies here and in Korea, I received intellectual, emotional, and financial support from many sources, all of whom I would like to thank. First of all, I thank my advisor Mary Beckman for so many things: for her encouragement and good advice concerning both my studies and my future career; for helping me to develop and sharpen my world-view of phonetics; and for giving me such detailed comments on many rough drafts. I also like to thank my other committee members for this thesis or other requirements, Beth Hume, Michel Jackson and Rob Fox, for their valuable comments and interests in my paper. I owe thanks to several people for their guidance of my studies from the beginning: to Professor Hwan-Mook Lee, who first introduced me to linguistics and made me major in it; to Professor Young-Nam Pae who shared the ideas of GB syntax with me and encouraged me to study in the United States; and to David Odden, who first introduced me to the world of Phonology and made me realize that my own dialect has tonal properties. I would also like to thank Bruce Hayes, Julia Hirshberg, Pat Keating, Janet Pierrehumbert, and Donca Steriade, who broaden my knowledge of Phonetics, Phonology, and Pragmatics, and their interfaces. I also want to acknowledge those who motivated me to pursue my interest in Prosodic Phonology of Korean: Young-mee Yu Cho, Ongmi Kang, and David James Silva. Ill I would also like to take this chance to thank my wonderful friends in our Phonetics Lab, the Labbies or Lab Rats — always near me but rarely acknowledged — Gayle Ayers, Keven Cohen, Stefanie Jannedy, Sook-hyang Lee, Shu-hui Peng, and Jennifer Venditti. Stefanie Jannedy deserves special thanks for her company through many sleepless nights in the lab and for her help in putting my figures in the right places. Other members of my department also made my stay at OSU a happy and enjoyable one for this; I thank Benjamin Ao, Hee-Rahlc Chae, Young-Hee Chung, Islay Cowie, John Dai, Eliza Segura-Holland, Hyeree Kim, No-Ju Kim, Gina Lee, Betina Migge, Mutonyi Nasiombe, Yongkyun No, Mira Oh, Frederick Parkinson, Marlene Payha, Robert Poletto, A. Hoobie Schott, and Jae-Hak Yoon. I especially thank Chan Chung, Heonseok Kang, Ki-Suk Lee, and Eun Jung Yoo, for spending hours in the sound booth for me as subjects of my experiments, as well as for their friendship during my time at OSU. Also, I would like to thank my other consultants - Guedae Cho, Yoon-Suk Chung, Chung-Hwa Kim, Jin-Sook Kim, Hyo-Seung Lee, Kyunghi Lee, Kyung-Hee Lee, Deok-Ryong Park, In-Woo Park, Ji-Young Seo, and Jean Suh. Last but not least, I would like to thank my family in Korea. — my mother and father, my sister and brothers, and my in-laws for their support and encouragement for all these years. I especially feel so grateful for-having my husband, Illam, for his endless support, care, and encouragement. Without his help, I would never have made it this far. Finally, to my daughter, Yujin, my apologies for being away from you for so many nights. Thank you for bringing me such a joy in my life. I would also like to acknowledge the financial support of the OSU Linguistics department, the College of Humanities, and the Graduate School.

    Onomatopoeia, Gestures, Actions and Words: How Do Caregivers Use Multimodal Cues in Their Communication to Children?

    Onomatopoeia, gestures, actions and words: How do caregivers use multimodal cues in their communication to children? Gabriella Vigliocco ([email protected]) Yasamin Motamedi, Margherita Murgiano, Elizabeth Wonnacott, Chloe Marshall, Iris Milan Maillo, Pamela Perniss Abstract However, in addition to being arbitrary, language presents also other types of form-meaning mapping characterized by Most research on how children learn the mapping between words and world has assumed that language is arbitrary, and a more transparent and motivated link (Dingemanse et al. has investigated language learning in contexts in which objects 2015). For example, iconicity, across languages, can be found referred to are present in the environment. Here, we report in the phonology of words, e.g. in onomatopoeia such analyses of a semi-naturalistic corpus of caregivers talking to as meow or drip. This expressive richness is particularly their 2-3 year-old. We focus on caregivers’ use of non-arbitrary prominent once we look at the multimodal communicative cues across different expressive channels: both iconic context in which language is learnt: prosodic (onomatopoeia and representational gestures) and indexical (points and actions with objects). We ask if these cues are used modulations (e.g. prolonging a vowel to indicate prolonged differently when talking about objects known or unknown to extension, loooong), iconic, representational gestures (e.g., the child, and when the referred objects are present or absent. tracing an up and down movement with the index finger We hypothesize that caregivers would use these cues more while talking about a bouncing object), points and hand often with objects novel to the child.
  • The Syllable Structure in Nyangatom

    The Syllable Structure in Nyangatom

    Studies in Ethiopian Languages, 6 (2017), 1-12 Article The Syllable Structure in Nyangatom Moges Yigezu (Addis Ababa University) [email protected] Abstract The syllable structure in Nyangatom is a key phonological unit that plays a central role in the organization of the phonological structure. The core syllable has a fairly complex structure consisting of a branching onset, an obligatory nucleus and a non- branching coda which is optional. The question of syllabification, that is, the division of words into syllables, both in complex onsets and reduplicated words, appear to be an interesting aspect of the phonology. The analysis of the internal structure of the syllable structure of Nyangatom shows that the Mora theory, rather than the traditional onset-rhyme conception, provides an insightful explanation in determining the syllable boundaries of disyllabic and multisyllabic words involving sequences of consonants as well as in the analysis of reduplicated words. 1 Introduction Nyangatom is an Eastern Nilotic language classified as a member of the Turkana- Teso cluster along with Toposa and Jie (Vossen 1982). Literature on the grammatical description of the language is still scanty. Some preliminary studies include Dimmendaal (2007), Kadanya & Schroder (2011) and Moges (2016). The current contribution is an attempt to add to the scanty literature by describing an aspect of the phonology of the language focusing on the syllable structure. The syllable structure in Nynagatom, as in other languages, is a key phonological unit and plays a pivotal role in the overall organization of the phonology of the language. In describing the internal structure of the syllable in Nyangatom, the Mora theory has been employed.

    Sound Symbolism, Speech Identity, and Size Andrew Shibata May, 2017 Phonlab, UC Berkeley Advisors

    UC Berkeley Phonetics and Phonology Lab Annual Report (2017) Sound symbolism, speech identity, and size Andrew Shibata May, 2017 PhonLab, UC Berkeley Advisors: Keith Johnson, Alice Shen Second Reader: Susan Lin 141 UC Berkeley Phonetics and Phonology Lab Annual Report (2017) Abstract Sound symbolism is the hypothesized property for sounds to convey semantic meaning. Shinohara and Kawahara (2010) proposed that features of vowels (frontness, height) and obstruents (voicing) cause listeners to perceive words as either larger or smaller. Study 1 firstly replicates the original experiment then repeats the experiment using a speech perception paradigm. The speech perception experiment assesses whether listeners perceive sizes differently between spoken language and visual reading. The results from Study 1 were consistent with Shinohara and Kawahara (2010) except that words with /u/ were perceived as smaller in our results. We hypothesized that this result may be due to u-fronting which is an iconic feature of Californian English so we repeated both the written word and speech perception experiments in Study 2 with non-Californian English speakers. Our results support Shinohara and Kawahara’s claims and suggest that speakers perceive dialect-specific phonetic properties from written word. 1. Introduction 1.1 Traditional perspective on form and meaning One long-held assumption in linguistics is that the physical form of a linguistic signal is independent of its meaning. This idea is attributed to Ferdinand de Saussure who stated in his Course in General Linguistics that “the bond between the signifier and the signified is arbitrary” (De Saussure & Baskin, 2011). Saussure argues that the idea conveyed by a word is not linked to the ordered set of sounds that make up the word.

Abstract: The paper attempts to bring out the importance of vocabulary in the seventeenth century. The growth of English vocabulary has played a vital role because every year new words appear, while others extend or change their meaning. Keywords: English Language, Vocabularies, Introduction of numerous word 1. INTRODUCTION By the middle of the seventeenth century English Language had more or less assumed its present form so far as grammar, spelling and pronunciation are concerned. From the Restoration onwards the chief developments have been in the direction of an enlargement of the vocabulary on the one hand and changes in the meaning of words on the other. As knowledge grows, so language grows with it. The English language is the richest of all the languages and has the most extensive vocabulary. New words have entered and enlarged the vocabulary of English. Dr. Johnson’s Dictionary of 1755 contains some 48,000 entries while the 20th century Oxford Dictionary lists more than four hundred thousand words. The extent of our individual vocabularies probably varies considerably from person to person. It has been estimated that Shakespeare used about twenty thousand words and Milton eight thousand, but in both cases, of course, the figures are deceptive.

THE PHONOLOGY AND MORPHOLOGY OF KISI George Tucker Childs ABSTRACT This dissertation describes the phonology and morphology of the Kisi language, a member of the Southern Branch of (West) Atlantic. The language is spoken in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. After the introduction in Chapter 1 and an overview of the language in Chapter 2, I discuss the phonology of the language. The phonemic inventory has implosives, a full series of nasal compound stops, and a set of labialvelars. The vowels form a symmetrical seven- vowel pattern, and length is contrastive. Syllable structure is , C(G)V(V)(C), where the only consonants allowed to close syllables are the liquid and two nasals. Kisi is a tonal language with the following tones: Low, High, Extra-High (limited distribution), Rise, and Fall.

Recent research suggests a more textured view of vocabulary structure, in which arbitrariness is complemented by iconicity (aspects of form resemble aspects of meaning) and systematicity (statistical regularities in forms predict function). Experimental evidence suggests these form to meaning correspondences serve different functions in language processing, development and communication: systematicity facilities category learning by means of phonological cues, iconicity facilitates word learning and communication by means of perceptuomotor analogies, and arbitrariness facilitates meaning individuation through distinctive forms. Processes of cultural evolution help explain how these competing motivations shape vocabulary structure. The return of non-arbitrariness An upheaval is underway in current thinking about the arbitrary nature of linguistic signs. The long- standing view that the form of a word has an essentially arbitrary relation to the word’s meaning [1,2] is giving way to a perspective that recognises roles for both arbitrariness and non-arbitrariness in language.

    Lecture Notes and Other Handouts for Introductory Phonology: A Course Packet Steve Parker GIAL and SIL International Dallas, 2013 Copyright © 2013 by Steve Parker and other contributors Preface This set of materials is designed to be used as handouts accompanying an introductory course in phonology, particularly at the undergraduate level. It is specifically intended to be used in conjunction with Stephen Marlett’s 2001 textbook, An Introduction to Phonological Analysis. The latter is currently available for free download from the SIL Mexico branch website. However, this course packet could potentially also be adapted for use with other phonology textbooks. The materials included here have been developed by myself and others over many years, in conjunction with courses in introductory phonology taught at SIL programs in North Dakota, Oregon, Dallas, and Norman, OK. Most recently I have used them at GIAL. Two colleagues in particular have contributed significantly to many of these handouts: Jim Roberts and Steve Marlett, to whom my thanks. I would also like to express my appreciation and gratitude to Becky Thompson for her very practical service in helping combine all of the individual files into one exhaustive document, and formatting it for me. Many of the special phonetic characters appearing in these materials use IPA fonts available as freeware from the SIL International website. Unless indicated to the contrary on specific individual handouts, all materials used in this packet are the copyright of Steve Parker. These documents are intended primarily for educational use. You may make copies of these works for research or instructional purposes (under fair use guidelines) free of charge and without further permission.
  • Speech Prosody — Theories, Models and Analysis

    Speech Prosody — Theories, Models and Analysis

    SPEECH PROSODY — THEORIES, MODELS AND ANALYSIS SPEECH PROSODY — THEORIES, MODELS AND ANALYSIS Yi Xu, PhD1 Modern study of speech prosody started almost as early as modern study of segmental aspect of speech (Cruttendon, 1997). Over the decades, many theories and models are proposed. While the diversity of approaches is a sign of creativity of the field, the situation could be confusing for readers who are new to the area. Even for seasoned researchers, if they have not given much thought to methodological issues, the key differences between the many approaches may not be immediately clear. This chapter offers an overview of the state of the art in prosody research mainly from a methodological perspective. I will first try to highlight the critical differences between the theories and models of prosody by outlining a way of classifying them along a number of dividing lines. I will then discuss a number of key issues in prosody analysis, with focus also mainly on methodological differences. 1. Theories and models of prosody 1.1 Types of prosodic theories and models — A three-way division One of the greatest difficulties in studying prosody is what can be referred to as the lack of reference problem (Xu, 2011). That is, due to the general absence of orthographic representations of prosody other than punctuations, there is little to fall back on when it comes to identifying the prosodic units, whether in terms of their temporal location, scope, phonetic property or communicative function. For example, for the F0 plot shown in Figure 1, it is hard to determine what the relevant prosodic units are: F0 1 University College London.
