....language (8 in these simulations) N l is the number of phonemes in the language (9 in these simulations) and r xypf = ae 1 if x pf = y pf ; 0 otherwise; 5) where x pf is feature f of phoneme p in word x. 4. Mandibular oscillation. The mandibular oscillation constraint is based on work by Davis and MacNeilage (1995), who suggest that simple syllable structure is derived from the basic cyclic gesture of mouth opening and closing. The constraint implies that in the sequential organization of phonemes, each phoneme must move away from the position of the preceding segment either towards openness or closure ....

....that combined canonical and variegated babbling. This model was intended to approximate the articulatory effects of a bias towards mandibular (jaw) oscillation in the oral behavior of young infants. This oscillatory bias has been proposed as a fundamental constraint on early speech development (Davis MacNeilage, 1995; Kent, Mitchell, Sancier, 1991; MacNeilage, in press; MacNeilage Davis, 1990) and is consistent with the central role of rhythmic behavior in motor development more generally (Thelen, 1981; Thelen Smith, 1994) The generated articulatory sequences reflected both reduplicated babbling (to ....
