Which best illustrates phonemes

It is assumed that generalization should scope over all other allophones of that phoneme if phonemes indeed play a role in speech perception. Dahan and Mead report similar findings, although, notably, they are more cautious in using them to argue against the phoneme view. In Salverda et al. Listeners had more transitory fixations to the monosyllabic competitor picture ham in the former than latter condition, which was taken as evidence against abstract phonemes being used for word representation and identification e.

Salverda et al. Similarly, coarticulatory effects on word identification were also taken as incompatible with phonemes. The findings above clearly demonstrate that subphonemic details can have an effect on perceptual learning and spoken word identification.

To illustrate our point, consider the finding that even more acoustically specific effects can be observed in speech perception e. Clearly, it would be inappropriate to reject allophones on the basis of ear-specific learning, and in the same way, it is inappropriate to reject phonemes on the basis of allophone-specific learning.

The simple fact is that all forms of representations can coexist, and accordingly, evidence for one sort of representation does not constitute evidence against another. To summarize, once again, the above theoretical and empirical arguments taken to challenge phoneme representations are weak, and, indeed, the findings can be readily accommodated by a theory that incorporates both phonemes as well as other sublexical units of representation.

Furthermore, there are empirical findings that we discuss next, that lend direct support for the conclusion that abstract segment-sized units play a role in speech perception.

Another key characteristic of phonemes is that they are independent of syllable or word position i. Often-cited evidence for phonemes in language production comes from speech errors in segments exchange. Although the bulk Naming latencies were shorter when the colour and object shared the initial phoneme e.

For further empirical evidence, see Reilly and Blumstein On the speech perception side, however, the claim that position-independent sublexical units play a role in spoken word identification is often rejected. One issue is theoretical; namely, it is not obvious how to code for order of phonemes if the representations themselves are position independent.

Indeed, as far as we are aware, there are no existing algorithmic models of spoken word identification that explain how position-independent phoneme representations are ordered in order to distinguish words with the same phonemes in different orders. Instead of positing position-invariant phonemes, theorists tend to assume that segments are coded differently when they occur in different contexts and positions within words. For example, Wickelgren , represents words via context-sensitive allophones that encode a segment in the context of the preceding and the following segments.

More commonly, it is assumed that segments include subphonemic information that help specify the order of the segments e. What we would emphasize here is that in both cases theorists are rejecting position-invariant phonemes and are replacing them with more detailed representations that code for both identity of a segment and its order.

It is important to note, however, that the there are ways to code for order using position-independent phoneme representations. Indeed, in the visual word-recognition literature, a similar issue arises regarding how to order letters, and both context-specific e.

Davis, letter codes have been proposed and implemented in algorithmic theories. Leaving aside an evaluation of dis advantages of the different coding schemes, the main point is that solutions for encoding order on the basis of position-independent letter codes exist, and the solutions might be adapted to the problem of ordering position invariant phonemes.

Accordingly, theory does not rule out position invariant phonemes, and the key question is whether position-specific or invariant units provide a better account of the empirical data in psychology and linguistics. Mitterer et al. Another source of support for position-specific allo- phones is provided by selective adaptation studies Ades, ; Samuel, We would note two points undermine the common rejection of position-invariant phonemes based on the above studies.

First, as highlighted above, theories that posit phonemes do not reject other sublexical representations, and, indeed, allophones are central to phonological theories. Accordingly, obtaining evidence for allophones is in no way evidence against phonemes, merely that the task was viewed as being more relevant to phones.

Second, a number of studies provide positive evidence in support of position-invariant phonemes. For example, a recent selective adaptation study by Bowers et al. Bowers et al. A significant adaptation effect was found both with initial and final adaptors i. Listeners showed more fixations to anadromes e. This finding cannot be accounted for via perceptual units such as demi- syllables as sub is no closer to bus than sun is or via phones as at this level sub is farther from bus than sun but can be naturally explained in terms of phonemes as sub and bus share all of the phonemes.

Finally, Kazanina, Phillips, and Idsardi demonstrate that early perceptual MEG responses to the same pair of nonsense syllables, [da] and [ta], is modulated by whether their initial consonants are separate phonemes as in English or Russian or allophones of the same phoneme as in Korean.

The finding that early stages of speech perception within — from the sound onset are affected by the phonemic status of the sounds strongly suggests that phonemes are units of speech perception. Local, Yet the question is whether these findings falsify the claim that abstract phonemes are a key component of spoken word identification and speech processing more generally.

The representations responsible for the above indexical or fine phonetic detail results may coexist with abstract phoneme representations cf. Even if the above criticisms of phonemes are rejected, and the allegedly limited psycholinguistic evidence in support of phonemes accepted, it is possible to raise another objection, namely, phonemes are an artificial by-product of literacy and accordingly do not constitute a core component of speech recognition.

Similarly, Greenberg, , identifies alphabet-based orthography as the culprit for why phonemes are considered as units of speech perception in the first places. And indeed, most studies that are taken to support phonemes are carried out in literate adults, as are the vast majority of adult psychological studies. Furthermore, there are demonstrations that preliterate children have difficulty identifying the number of phonemes but not syllables in a word I. Together, these findings at least raise the possibility that phonemes only exist as a by-product of learning an alphabetic script.

Another possible interpretation of these findings, however, is that exposure to an alphabetic writing system highlights the role of preexisting phoneme representations, making phonemes more consciously accessible and more easily manipulated for literate individuals.

Indeed, when the requirement for explicit report is removed, illiterate listeners performance shows evidence for phonemes. Phonological fusions involving migration of a single consonant were also found e.

Such phonological fusions and other evidence—including the fact of emergence of alphabetical systems in the human history in the first place see Fowler, support the claim that abstract segment-sized units of perception are not uniquely a by-product of learning a written alphabet, although they become more accessible for metalinguistic awareness via orthography.

Last but not least, we point out that many linguistic computations that require phoneme units are present in illiterate adults and in children e.

To conclude Part 2, current psycholinguistic data are consistent with the hypothesis that syllables, features, indexical, fine phonetic detail, as well as phonemes may all have a role in spoken word identification. There is no reason to reject phonemes on the basis that additional representations may be involved in word identification.

One possible criticism to our claim that evidence for segments, phones, and syllables does not rule out phonemes is that we have rendered phonemes unfalsifiable. We have two responses to this. First, there has never been a theory in which phonemes constitute the only sublexical representation, so it is just a logically invalid conclusion to reject phonemes based on evidence for syllables.

The fact that there is some positive evidence in support of phonemes from the psycholinguistic literature e. Bonatti et al. Second, and more important, sceptics of phonemes have ignored the most important positive evidence for phonemes. In fact, phonemes were first hypothesized as units of lexical representation in linguistics in order to account for a variety of historical, morphological, syntactic, and semantic observations, and it is in this domain that the functional importance of phonemes is most clear see, for example, the discussion of Baudouin de Courtenay in Anderson, , p.

We consider the evidence from linguistics next. The end goal of the listener is not merely to recognize individual morphemes or words but to understand the linguistic message overall, including recognizing the relations between morphemes inside the word and between words in phrases, sentences, and discourse. It is this upstream computational aspect that makes phoneme-based representations central to linguistic theory, as operations at these higher levels require the ability to access a level of representation corresponding to single phoneme or a string of phonemes in order to carry out the relevant computations.

In what follows, we provide five arguments from various domains of linguistics that show that phonemes cannot be replaced with demi- syllables, contextual or positional variants of phonemes, or features. One form of evidence in support of phonemes comes from languages in which words can consist of a single consonant.

Such phonological forms cannot be represented via syllables and call for segment-sized units or smaller in the lexicon and as perceptual access codes. In another language with single consonant words and words without any vowels, El Aissati, McQueen, and Cutler found that Tarifiyt Berber listeners showed equal abilities to spot words whether the remaining residue was a syllable or a single consonant.

Morphemes are minimal pairings between a phonological form and a concept. Words are stand-alone morphemes e. What is critical for our discussion is that morphemes are often below the size of a demi- syllable. The important point is that it is not enough to recognize a word such as books or played , listeners also should be able to relate them to book or play.

Without phonemes, these relations would be nontransparent and arbitrary, and these pairs would be no more similar than cat and cap , leading to a mounting load on the memory system. In addition to words and morphemes that are smaller than a syllable, languages have root and affix morphemes that cannot be coherently represented via syllables.

On the phoneme view, the relation between these words can be represented elegantly by postulating that they share an underlying triconsonantal root k - t - b with vowel patterns reflecting different grammatical derivations.

The demi- syllable view cannot encode bare consonantal roots because a sequence of consonants cannot be segmented into demi- syllables. Similarly, on the allo phone based view, the words would not share the same root as the consonant phones would differ depending on the vowel pattern. Again, this leads to an unsatisfactory outcome whereby a morphological relation between them is nontransparent. An alternative could be proposed that morphologically related forms in Semitic languages are abstracted to an acoustic frame k - t - b that can vary the inner details we thank Greg Hickok for pointing out this possibility.

However, this view—as well as the demi-syllable and the allo phone based views—experience difficulty due to the existence of phonological processes in Hebrew that affect root consonants. Hence a template that corresponds to a common lexicosemantic representation cannot be formed solely on the basis of acoustic considerations. A strong rationale for postulating context-independent phonemes in linguistic theory is that they enable a parsimonious account of sound changes, alternation, and variation that takes place synchronically i.

Synchronically, many pronunciation changes are associated with morphological derivation, as building larger forms often results into changes in how a constituent morpheme is realised phonetically.

Next, we survey productive morphological processes in various languages to demonstrate that an adequate mapping between speech inputs and long-term memory requires phonemes as access codes. Suffixation adding a morpheme after the stem; e. Now consider the task of recognizing stamp in stamping. Plentiful similar examples of resyllabification that yields misalignment between morpheme and syllable boundaries can be easily found for prefixation e.

Resyllabification aside, suffixation and prefixation may induce other phonological changes including shifting stress away from the stem to a new location, leading to phonetic change inside the stem. The pattern is widespread and extends to other suffixes e. Note that there is no solid in solidity if phonological forms of words were represented via allo phones or demi- syllables. This would indeed allow recognizing the root solid in solidity , but at a high cost: How does the language user know which allomorph should combine with which suffix?

If solidity is related to solid on the basis of perceptual proximity, then what prevents relating turnip to turn spinach to spin on the same grounds? A more exotic type of word formation is infixation, whereby a morpheme is inserted within another morpheme. But both the infix and some of the locations where it is inserted are definable only in terms of sequences of phonemes. Furthermore, infixation continues to be productive, as seen by its application to borrowed words e.

Other languages use reduplication much more productively, and in some cases the portion of the word that is repeated is not a syllabic or morphological unit. In sum, much of morphological derivation requires the ability to manipulate abstract segment-sized representations and cannot be adequately explained via demi- syllables or allo- phones. Phoneme-based encoding of lexical representations highlights the regularity in the lexicon and makes it more learnable.

Phonological changes do not only result from combining morphemes into words, they also result from combining words into phrases. Yet if syllables were access codes to the lexicon, [nu. An ostensible solution is to increase long-term storage i. The solution, however, does not work: It becomes impossible to know which combinations of phonological forms are il licit i.

In sum, the process of combining morphemes into more complex words or words into phrases often leads to changes in the phonological form of morphemes or words. Such changes are regular and can be efficiently systematised only in a system that includes phonemes. Phoneme-based representations are required to encode resultant words and phrases compositionally and to enable a high degree of morphological transparency in the lexicon that is not achievable on the basis of allo- phones, demi- syllables, or features alone.

Phoneme-sized representations are important beyond their role as access codes to the lexicon. Another critical function of phonemes relates to their role in signalling morphosyntactic relations in the sentence structure and for sentence interpretation. Some elements within a phrase or a sentence must agree e.

To summarise, establishing relations between words and interpreting them as part of a larger syntactic and semantic structure requires verifying that morphosyntactic features gender, number, case, etc. Ability to access these features requires phonemes; hence, phoneme-based representations must be visible to syntactic and semantic computations. Similar to poetry, discussed in the next section, an aesthetic experience for the game player—listener is perceptual in nature rather than being of articulatory nature and informative for the discussion of units of speech perception.

For example, the English Pig Latin game exhibits phoneme manipulation. The existence of the second dialect, particularly, reveals that a level of individual phoneme must be available to game players, and, in particular, that the players who are listening must be able to perceptually splice the received form [lube] to reconstruct the form for lexical access, [blu]. In the game forms, the corresponding phonemes are now in different syllable positions and contexts e.

Nor can the game be explained via syllables: The real and game forms do not share any syllables; hence, the language user would need to store a list of correspondences between real and game syllables only for the purposes of playing the game.

Finally, phonemes are also necessary to describe poetic sound patterning, such as alliteration. As in traditional Germanic verse Sievers, , each line is divided into two half-lines, and the initial segments of one or more stressed syllable in each half-line must match. This highlights the abstract nature of alliteration in that it ignores allophonic variation.

Similar poetic patterns relying on individual phonemes can be found in verse composed in preliterate societies e. Chinese is a nonalphabetic language, yet phonemes must be parsed out from the syllables in order to evaluate the lines of poetry for alliteration.

To conclude Part 3, a variety of linguistic data, including morphological derivation, language games, and poetry, demonstrate that linguistic generalisations require phonemes as units of representation. Access to phonemes is required beyond the immediate task of retrieving words from the lexicon but also to interpret syntactic and semantic relations between words in phrases or sentences.

In language games and in poetry, phoneme-based regularities are widely used for producing an effect on the listener. Thus, phonemes must be access codes to the lexicon and a speech perception unit. Importantly, these linguistic observations extend to illiterates, again suggesting that phonemes are not a by-product of learning to read an alphabetic script. In Fig. But rather than have a strictly pipelined approach features first, then phones, then phonemes, etc.

But for the most part they do not address the specific questions of perceptual and computational abstraction raised above. Thus, we see Pierrehumbert , and Fowler as consistent with the approach developed here, but placing different emphases on the various representations calculated during speech perception.

STRFs are somewhat like building blocks for spectrograms, and they can vary in time, frequency, and rate. Various modules in the middle layer engage into cooperative lateral computation, symbolized here by the enclosing box, in much the same way the Kleinschmidt and Jaeger propose multiple joint inference of categories and indexical information. Considering the specific example of input camel in Fig.

Note that although we use traditional feature names that refer to articulation, the features themselves are of double nature, i. Also, see the paragraph below for more information on phone and phoneme calculations. We hypothesize that the prosodic form of the word mono- vs. Returning to phone and phoneme computations in the middle of the diagram, sequences of phones are related to sequences of phonemes via the phonological regularities of the language.

We emphasize sequences here because of the violations of linearity and biuniqueness Chomsky, , in which a property of a phone may signal information on a nearby phoneme.

This forward prediction is also the source of subphonemic detail effects on word identification see discussion of Dahan et al. Phone-to-phoneme lateral matching is restricted by language-specific phonological regularities and uses features as a metrics for comparison.

But we also view phonemes as perceptually more primary or immediate than other approaches in that some STRFs are broadly tuned and can be activated by several different phones, thus forming equivalence-class phoneme detectors. Furthermore, the phoneme inventory at the middle layer in the system enables even higher order categories e. Only a view with phonemes as perceptual units can account for the range of linguistic data reviewed in Part 3, as this view alone encodes systematic relations between phones and phonemes, so that representations for nonce forms can be constructed and relations between words can be computed.

Yet we emphasize that in normal language comprehension, it is the cooperation of multiple modules from the mid layer and top-down influences from the lexical representations that underlies our ability to identify words so successfully compare the relative difficulty of identifying phonemes reliably in nonce or foreign words.

The fault we find with such systems is both empirical and conceptual. In particular, we highlight that the linguistic evidence for phonemes in Part 3 cannot be attributed solely to the production system and clearly implicates the perceptual system. Ability to show such performance requires ability to access phonemes within the perceptual system. Neither can the model account for the results of segment-based learning in artificial language learning tasks Bonatti et al.

Finally, such models are just too profligate in their use of memory. Although phonemes are the core of the system that we propose, this is not to say that all language capacities are computed solely by the core phoneme system. Indeed, a range of psycholinguistic phenomena show that additional representations play a role in word perception and language processing more generally. For example, right hemisphere systems may encode the speech in quantitatively or qualitatively different ways in order to encode the emotional and various indexical features of language processing Poeppel, ; Zatorre, However, we speculate that many of the indexical effects may turn out to be explained by the cooperative calculations among the representations in the middle of the diagram.

However our goal here is not to detail how the right hemisphere, episodic memory, and all the various sublexical phonological representations interact in order to support speech perception and comprehension. Rather, our goal is to argue that phonemes are necessary and serve as access codes to lexemes. On our view, any attempt to discard phonemes for alternative sublexical representations will fail, and the main reason why so many theorists have attempted to replace phonemes with various alternative sublexical representations is that they have not considered the core reasons why phonemes were introduced in the first place, namely, various linguistic phenomena concerning how complex word forms and syntactic processes are accomplished, which require access to subsyllabic feature bundles coordinated in time.

Although the exact mechanism of representing phonological forms of words in the long-term memory using the equivalence classes is not fully clear to us, we point out this alternative.

In our view, the OT equivalence classes require abstraction over segments and thus are comparable to a phoneme at least to the degree that makes the OT and phoneme-based approaches fall on the same side of the debate vis-a-vis claims rejecting abstract segment-sized units in the speech perception literature discussed in Part 2.

We use the notation demi- syllables to refer to such units. It is noted that in principle the outcome may be obtainable via multisyllable templates Greg Hickok, personal communication ; however, to date this position has not been elaborated in sufficient detail in the published literature, hence its tenability will not be discussed further.

In this section we discuss the case of segmental variation that is restricted to the critical segment being in the same position within a word or syllable but surrounded by different segments.
