Correction to “Phonology of proper names”

Abstract

Tanaka, Y. (2023). Phonology of proper names. Language and Linguistics Compass 17(5), e12502. https://doi.org/10.1111/lnc3.12502

On page 4 paragraph 1, underlines are missing. The whole paragraph should be:

The first element is, ambiguously, a proper name or common noun. There were two possible output blend forms for each case (italics and underlining indicate the segmental correspondences between each source word and the output). In (2a), B/bohemian + hummus can yield either B/bohemmus, preserving more segments of B/bohemian, or B/bohummus, preserving more hummus. Similarly, in (2b), T/túrkey + tycóon can yield either T/túrcoon, preserving the primary stress of T/túrkey, or T/turcóon, preserving that of tycóon. Moreton and colleagues predicted that participants would tend to match the output form retaining more segmental and prosodic properties from the first element (i.e., BOHEMMUS, TÚRCOON) with the definition indicating that the first element was a proper name. (In the actual experiment, the stimuli were shown in all capital letters to remove the influence of orthography.)
