Phonological System

In this article, I discuss common ideas that speakers of Icelandic have about neologisms and their formation. Based on public discussions, we can assume that speakers find accuracy and transparency to be the most important features of a neologism. At the same time, they need to be as short as possible. These requirements often conflict. Additionally, neologisms should fit into the Icelandic grammatical and phonological system, be well suited to use as part of compound words and other word formations accomplished through derivation. Finally, speakers tend to be more positive towards neologisms that are formed by using Icelandic roots than using adaptations of words borrowed from other languages.

Phonological System

This paper examines the credibility of deviant articulation as a less mature phonological system and as an individual phonological system with its own rules. Evidence is presented suggesting that both types of deviant phonological systems may occur in the articulatory defective population. The clinical implications of each type of deviant system are presented.

Natural Outcome

Stereotypes and Trends in Today’s Romanian Press. In the last three decades, the Romanian media has undergone significant changes. In this industry, the market is nowadays dominated by TV and online press. The number of TV stations with national or local coverage has increased significantly, and the competition between newspapers or online news pages has intensified. A consequence of the battle for audience is the tabloidization of some TV channels, as well as online press, in order to increase the number of retrievals of online news. The tabloidization trend is seen in the dissemination of a sometimes-exaggerated number of sensational information, in the wording of news titles and in the insistent advertising. From a linguistic point of view, chaos reigns in TV and online press. Many of the news posted online seem to be drawn up in a hurry or negligently translated from various foreign sources. We are witnessing a mixture of styles and an alienation from the journalistic canon. The stylistic hybridization is the natural outcome of the frequent use of words and phrases characteristic to colloquial-familiar and argotic language or from various terminological areas, generally hardly accessible to the wide audience. However, the TV and online press has an undisputed merit: a major contribution to enriching the vocabulary with new elements (compound words, derived words, loanwords from other modern languages or calques), to their dissemination and establishment in the Romanian language.

Phonological System

Bengali has a robust medial geminate/singleton contrast across oral stops and nasals in five places of articulation. This chapter presents a synchronic account of the phonological system involving the consonantal length contrast, which supports an asymmetric moraic representation of geminates. Based on these representational assumptions, two EEG and two behavioural experiments were conducted to investigate the processing of this geminate/singleton contrast by Bengali native speakers. The results reveal a processing asymmetry for the duration contrast: the processing of the duration contrast is indeed asymmetric: a geminate mispronunciation is accepted for a singleton real word, while the reverse is not the case. This provides evidence that the lexical representation of the duration contrast must be asymmetric and thus privative rather than equipollent.

Phonological System

Abstract The acquisition of a second language (L2) may be challenging in adulthood, as the phonological system of the native language (L1) can sometimes limit the perception of phonological contrasts in L2. The present study aimed to (a) examine the influence of an L1 (Hebrew) that lacks a phonemic contrast for vowel length on the ability to discriminate between short and long vowels in L2 (Arabic); and (b) assess the effect of a short training on the participants’ discrimination performance. A total of 60 participants, 20 native Arabic speakers and 40 native Hebrew speakers, were tested using the ABX procedure in two sessions that were 10 days apart. A single training session was provided for half of the Hebrew speakers (n = 20) approximately 2–3 days after the first (pretraining) testing session. The results indicated that the trained Hebrew participants’ discrimination levels (measured by accuracy and reaction times) were above chance level but were nevertheless lower in comparison to the Arabic speakers. However, a short training session was sufficient to yield a nativelike performance that generalized to untrained nonwords. These findings support the theoretical models that predict a reserved ability to acquire new phonetic/phonological cues in L2 and have important practical implications for the process of learning a new phonological system in adulthood.
