Shigeto Kawahara - Location TBA	11/20/2009 - 3:30pm	Start: 11/20/2009 - 3:30pm End: 11/20/2009 - 5:00pm Timezone: Etc/GMT-5 Coda devoicing and perceptual similarity Languages resolve voiced obstruents in codas by devoicing but not by any other phonological means (i.e. nasalization, deletion or epenthesis). For example, the underlying /ab/ can become [ap], but not [am], [aba] or *[a]. Steriade (2001/2008) claims that (i) speakers maximize the similarity between inputs and outputs, assuming that (ii) devoicing yields an outcome that is most similar to the original form. In this talk, I present my recent attempts to test the premise of this hypothesis (clause (ii) above).

Location: SAC 304) Thoughts on 1977 "In this talk, I consider the legacy of Chomsky & Lasnik's 1977 Filters and Control, and Vergnaud's 1977 letter in reply.
