This book offers a laboratory phonological analysis of the sonority hierarchy and natural classes in nasal harmony using an artificial grammar-learning paradigm. It is aimed at postgraduate students and linguists in general whose research interests lie in phonology, phonetics, and/or psycholinguistics. It is useful for linguists who are struggling to figure out how to effectively design an artificial phonological grammar and those who have not designed experiments on their own but would like to do so as an additional means to testing linguistic theories. This book is also a valuable resource for anyone building crosslinguistic artificial grammar paradigm resources.

An important question in linguistics involves the nature of apparent substantive biases. Biases are often claimed to be universal based on typological evidence. This thesis tests for a substantive bias, the proposed universal implicational nasalized segment hierarchy in vowel-consonant nasal harmony, using an Artificial Grammar paradigm. In particular, I address whether a pattern that is predicted by the implicational hierarchy is in fact easier to learn than one that is not predicted or that is indeterminate with regard to predictions. I use a grammaticality judgment wug test paradigm to investigate whether it is easier to make a generalization when a more marked blocker (more sonorant segment) or target (less sonorant segment) is presented during an exposure phase and a less marked blocker (less sonorant segment) or target (more sonorant segment) in the test phase than vice versa. I call this the sonority hierarchy type prediction. In addition to testing the predictions on the basis of the hierarchy, I also test predictions based on natural classes. The natural class hypothesis predicts that a grammar is more learnable if a new segment (a segment introduced in the test phase but not present in the exposure phase) is of the same natural class as an old segment (a segment introduced in the exposure phase). The experiment was run with speakers of Min (Taiwan Southern Min), a language with no apparent evidence for sonority classes, using a method based on that of Wilson (2006). Experiments were carried out that allow both the sonority hierarchy type and the natural class hypotheses to be tested, taking individual differences (learner types) into account. The results show that both the sonority hierarchy and natural classes play a role, supporting the claim that it is easier to learn a grammar that exhibits a substantive bias than one that does not. In conclusion, this thesis suggests that the implicational nasalized segment hierarchy is testable and learnable in artificial grammar learning to some extent and natural classes are psychologically real and actively used by participants in nasal harmony.

"This volume brings together sixteen essays by Louise Antony that reflect her distinctive approach to issues at the intersections of feminist theory, epistemology, philosophy of mind and philosophy of language. Antony proceeds from the Quinean precept that we treat knowledge as a natural phenomenon. This approach, Antony argues, offers feminists and other progressive theorists vital tools with which to expose and dismantle ideological conceptions of knowledge, human nature, and objectivity. She argues that naturalism's focus on the actual (as opposed to hypothetical) circumstances under which human beings acquire knowledge illuminates and responds to feminist calls for a "situated" account of human knowledge. At the same time, Antony defends a number of views that have been the object of feminist criticism: psychological individualism, cognitive nativism, and the autonomy of semantics. These views, Antony argues, are in no way incompatible with feminist commitments, which is good, because they enjoy broad empirical support. Also in this volume, Antony addresses a number of practical issues of concern to feminists: Does pornography silence women? Are we ethically entitled to moral partiality? Is legitimate authority possible? Why are there so few women in philosophy? Finally, Antony presents and develops her own theory of gender. She argues that genders are socially constructed and multiply realized categories that bring into concordance sets of properties that have no natural or rational connection to each other. Genders must not be identified with the categories "female" and "male," but human sexual difference is the material, explanatory basis of gender systems: but for the existence of differences in reproductive role between females and males, gender regimes would not exist"--

Despite earlier work by Trubetzkoy, Jakobson and Greenberg, phonological typology is often underrepresented in typology textbooks. At the same time, most phonologists do not see a difference between phonological typology and cross-linguistic (formal) phonology. The purpose of this book is to bring together leading scholars to address the issue of phonological typology, both in terms of the unity and the diversity of phonological systems.

A mathematical model of the interaction between an evaporating liquefied natural gas spill on the ocean and the ambient water is presented. It is shown that the effect of mass addition that was neglected in previous analysis on the fluid mechanics and heat transfer of the spill is significant. A new mathematical model of the spill is proposed, approximations are discussed, and solution techniques are indicated.

In Gender, Class, and Freedom in Modern Political Theory, Nancy Hirschmann demonstrates not merely that modern theories of freedom are susceptible to gender and class analysis but that they must be analyzed in terms of gender and class in order to be understood at all. Through rigorous close readings of major and minor works of Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Kant, and Mill, Hirschmann establishes and examines the gender and class foundations of the modern understanding of freedom. Building on a social constructivist model of freedom that she developed in her award-winning book The Subject of Liberty: Toward a Feminist Theory of Freedom, she makes in her new book another original and important contribution to political and feminist theory. Despite the prominence of "state of nature" ideas in modern political theory, Hirschmann argues, theories of freedom actually advance a social constructivist understanding of humanity. By rereading "human nature" in light of this insight, Hirschmann uncovers theories of freedom that are both more historically accurate and more relevant to contemporary politics. Pigeonholing canonical theorists as proponents of either "positive" or "negative" liberty is historically inaccurate, she demonstrates, because theorists deploy both conceptions of freedom simultaneously throughout their work.

Phonology - the study of how the sounds of speech are represented in our minds - is one of the core areas of linguistic theory, and is central to the study of human language. This handbook brings together the world's leading experts in phonology to present the most comprehensive and detailed overview of the field. Focusing on research and the most influential theories, the authors discuss each of the central issues in phonological theory, explore a variety of empirical phenomena, and show how phonology interacts with other aspects of language such as syntax, morphology, phonetics, and language acquisition. Providing a one-stop guide to every aspect of this important field, The Cambridge Handbook of Phonology will serve as an invaluable source of readings for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, an informative overview for linguists and a useful starting point for anyone beginning phonological research.
