Phonetics, phonology. From MIT. Location: SAC 304 The role of distinctiveness constraints in phonology Distinctiveness constraints favor maximization of the perceptual differences between contrasting sounds - less distinct contrasts incur more severe constraint violations. Perceptually indistinct contrasts are disfavored because they increase the likelihood of confusion on the part of listeners. | ||
