Author(s): Hyman, Larry M. | Abstract: Investigations into phonological differences between nouns and verbs focus almost exclusively on the lexical (word) level, showing that underlying contrasts are more numerous and stable (“faithful”) on nouns (Smith 1998, 1999). This raises the question of whether these (or other) alleged differences in word level phonology generalize to the nominal vs. verbal phrase. The Bantu family provides an ideal testing ground for such an investigation. Based on Bantu, I show that nouns are more likely to undergo modification at the phrase level than verbs, thereby obeying less “faithfulness” to the input than verbs. Nominal phrases also show more distinct outputs and complex idiosyncracies than their verbal counterparts. After establishing that there are distinct asymmetric properties in the phrasal phonology of nominal vs. verbal constituents in Bantu, I raise the question of what causes these asymmetries and whether they are general or pertain only to Bantu and other African languages.

Author(s): Johnson, Keith; Sprouse, Ronald L. | Abstract: This is a short paper comparing two approaches to head correction for Electro-MagneticArticulography (EMA) data collected with the Northern Digital Instruments “Wave” system. Inboth of these approaches, it is necessary to translate and rotate the sensor locations to theocclusal coordinate system. We found that point tracking error is greater by as much as doublewith the built-in NDI head correction method, compared to a three-sensor head correctionalgorithm. However, we conclude that the data are comparable, and that the two-sensor NDImethod is acceptable for phonetic research. A Python library for head correction was developedfor this work, and is available on github.com.
作者:约翰逊，基思;摘要:这是一篇比较两种方法对由美国北方数字仪器公司(Northern Digital Instruments)“Wave”系统收集的电磁关节成像(EMA)数据进行头部校正的短文。在这两种方法中，都需要将传感器位置平移和旋转到咬合坐标系。我们发现，与三传感器头校正算法相比，内置NDI头校正方法的点跟踪误差更大，高达两倍。然而，我们得出的结论是，数据具有可比性，并且双传感器ndi方法可用于语音研究。为这项工作开发了一个用于头部校正的Python库，可以在github.com上获得。
