| Title | Book: Learner Knowledge of Target Phonotactics |
| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/21/21-493.html Learner Knowledge of Target Phonotactics: Judgments of French Word Transformations by Shannon D. Halicki Publisher: Lincom GmbH Summary: This study seeks to determine the extent to which inter-language phonology is channeled by Universal Grammar constraints. The empirical research entails a study testing English native L2 learners of French in their knowledge of three structural features: 1) maximum consonant cluster limits in French; 2) sonorancy assimilation at morpheme boundaries; 3) similarity avoidance at morpheme boundaries. The results are found to be incompatible with statistically-based phonological frameworks, as well as theories of acquisition that make predictions based on markedness implications. A full transfer/full access account of acquisition is offered to account for the learner preferences. For more information about this book go to http://linguistlist.org/issues/21/21-493.html |
