Name: _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Discussion section time: ____________________________________________________________________________ Linguistics 285: Lab 11 Goals: - Practice identifying the pieces of a syllable - Practice identifying phonological rules. - Explore how the human phoneme recognition and lexical access system works PHONOTACTICS 1. How many syllables do each of the following words have? a. practice ______________ b. syllable ______________ c. occupation ______________ d. occupational ______________ e. dialectology ______________ f. squirreled ______________ g. era ______________ 2. Divide the following one syllable words into onset, nucleus, and coda. IPA transcription meaning onset nucleus coda [kæt] “cat” [it] “eat” [beikt] “baked” [sk ɹ eipt] “scraped” 1

PHONOLOGICAL RULES The following dataset is from Japanese. IPA transcription meaning environment [lo.ku] “six” [su. u] ɹ “to do” [lai] “rye” [wa.ka. i.mas] ɹ “to understand” 3. Write a rule that describes the distribution of [l] versus [ ]. ɹ HUMAN PHONEME RECOGNITION AND LEXICAL ACCESS 4. Download the file “missing.wav” from the file folder for Lab 11 on Blackboard. Open the file in Praat. Select “Play.” What word do you hear? Did you have any difficulty understanding the word? 5. The word in “missing.wav” has a phoneme missing and replaced with a cough. Play the file again. Can you identify which phoneme is missing? Do you have any difficulty doing this? 6. What cognitive skill allows you to easily identify the word in “missing.wav” despite that it is missing a phoneme? 7. Select “View & Edit” to look at “missing.wav.” Confirm which phoneme is missing. The cough will look like a loud voiceless fricative. 8. Record yourself producing the same word then “View & Edit” your production. In what ways does your production differ, acoustically, from the one in the file? 2

9. How would Categorical Perception help you understand the word despite the variation observed in (8)? Fun with ENGLISH PHONOLOGY The following dataset is from English. There are three different phonological rules at work. We’ll look at them one by one over the next few questions. IPA transcription meaning [s mb ks] æ̃ α “sandbox” [s ntoi] æ̃ “sand toy” [sætoi] “sad toy” [ mpædi] æ̃ “Aunt Patty” [ ŋk m] æ̃ ɪ “Aunt Kim” [ nt] æ̃ “aunt” [æt] “at” 10. The place of articulation for the nasals may be slightly different that you expect. a. Write the environment for each nasal. IPA transcription meaning environment [s mb ks] æ̃ α “sandbox” 3
