  • aquisicao Lexical inicial e verificacao da hipotese do vies nominal initial Lexical acquisition and noun bias hypothesis verification
    2015
    Co-Authors: Leticia Arruda Noro, Debora Durigon Da Silva, Fernanda Marafiga, Helena Bolli Mota
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACTPurpose: verifying how the initial Lexical acquisition occurs in children with typical development, regarding to types and tokens of the Lexical items. Furthermore, one wants to verify if the noun bias hypothesis occurs, and in what version, strong or weak. Methods: the sample consisted of 20 children, male and female, with typical language development. This research covered ages from 1:0 to 1:11 (years: months) divided in three age groups (1:0 – 1:3;29, 1:4 – 1:7;29, 1:8 – 1:11;29). Audio data from spontaneous speech were collected, and after, Lexical Analysis was performed regarding to types and tokens produced. The Statistical tests Mann Whitney; Kruskal – Wallis and Wilcoxon were used, with significance level p< 0.05. Results: no statistical significance was found to the variables regarding to sex. However, statistical difference was found between the age group 1 in relation to 2 and 3 to the majority of variables. Furthermore, one verified prevalence of content words in the age groups 2 and 3. The prevalence of nouns over verbs in all age groups was observed.

However, statistical difference was found between the age group 1 in relation to 2 and 3 to the majority of variables. Furthermore, one verified prevalence of content words in the age groups 2 and 3. The prevalence of nouns over verbs in all age groups was observed. Conclusion: the initial Lexical acquisition in children with typical development occurs gradually according to the increase of age. In this period the sex variable doesn’t influence in the linguistic performance. Furthermore, the noun bias hypothesis was confirmed in its weak version, confirming the thesis that inspired this research.

  • Lexical analyses of the function and phonology of Papuan Malay word stress
    'Walter de Gruyter GmbH', 2021
    Co-Authors: Kaland C., Kluge A., Heuven, V.j.j.p. Van
    Abstract:

    The existence of word stress in Indonesian languages has been controversial. Recent acoustic analyses of Papuan Malay suggest that this language has word stress, counter to other studies and unlike closely related languages. The current study further investigates Papuan Malay by means of Lexical (non-acoustic) analyses of two different aspects of word stress. In particular, this paper reports two distribution analyses of a word corpus, 1) investigating the extent to which stress patterns may help word recognition and 2) exploring the phonological factors that predict the distribution of stress patterns. The facilitating role of stress patterns in word recognition was investigated in a Lexical Analysis of word embeddings. The results show that Papuan Malay word stress (potentially) helps to disambiguate words. As for stress predictors, a random forest Analysis investigated the effect of multiple morpho-phonological factors on stress placement. It was found that the mid vowels /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ play a central role in stress placement, refining the conclusions of previous work that mainly focused on /ɛ/. The current study confirms that non-acoustic research on stress can complement acoustic research in important ways. Crucially, the combined findings on stress in Papuan Malay so far give rise to an integrated perspective to word stress, in which phonetic, phonological and cognitive factors are considered.

    Co-Authors: Kaland C., Heuven, V.j.j.p. Van
    Abstract:

    This study investigates the extent to which word stress facilitates word disambiguation in Papuan Malay. Although there is consistent acoustic support for word stress patterns in this language, the function of word stress in Indonesian languages, including Papuan Malay, has been disputed in several studies. Based on a word list of phonetically transcribed Papuan Malay words, an Analysis of wordembeddings was carried out. The number of words that are embedded in other words was shown to explain the role of word stress in the word recognition processes crosslinguistically. The results of the Lexical Analysis indicate that Papuan Malay is somewhat similar to English, a language where word stress differences are mainly signalled by vowel quality and to a lesser extent by suprasegmental cues. The results are discussed within the context of cross-linguistic cues to word stress and shed a new light on the controversy concerning word stress in Indonesian languages.Theoretical and Experimental Linguistic
