| Abstract: | Preliminary thoughts on 'phonologization' within an exemplar-based speech processing system Robert Kirchner This paper discusses a particular problem attendant upon the hypothesis that phonological patterns emerge directly from considerations of phonetic functionality: the problem is that phonological patterns frequently display stability across tokens and contexts, where direct phonetic conditioning would predict variation. I suggest that this stabilization might emerge from an exemplar-based speech processing system, which, in essence, enforces the notion of analogical pattern extension. |
