....constraint, OCP Place. I thus make a third connection between phonology and general cognition by showing that the process of phonological encoding impacts the abstract phonology. Parallel to the case of phonological universals based on articulatory or auditory constraints (Lindblom 1983, 1990; Browman Goldstein 1986, 1990; Sagey 1986; Silverman 1995; Flemming 1995) I propose that language may be constrained by cognitive universals. Further, the influence of cognitive processing constraints over time may result in the grammaticization of soft cognitive constraints into language particular constraints. ....

....of soft cognitive constraints into language particular constraints. Language particular patterns may thus be grounded in cognitive processes much like, for example, assimilation is grounded in soft physical constraints like articulator overlap and minimization of effort (Lindblom 1983, Browman Goldstein 1986). 1.1 Rules versus Constraints in Linguistic Theory Formal linguistic theory has undergone a major paradigm shift since the early conception of a generative grammar (e.g. Chomsky 1957) The relatively recent adoption of Unificationbased Grammars (Gazdar, Klein, Pullum, Sag 1985; Scobbie 1993; ....

....regions which are considered most informative for the categories in question. Finally, the fourth approach [13, 29, 30, 31, 32] attempts to infer vocal tract shapes from the acoustic signal by nonlinear statistical functions, based on speech production theories like Articulatory Phonology [6] or the Distinctive Regions Model [25] Each of the above approaches has its strengths and weaknesses. Articulatory feature sets have the disadvantage of quantizing articulatory information rather than providing continuous measurements of articulatory parameters. This may not be sufficient to ....

....by the authors, the benefit should be attributed mainly to non linear behaviour of biomechanical models where muscular structure and compliance of the tissues interact strongly. Again, these interesting biomechanical properties should however not mask the importance of inter gestural phasing [10, 11, 13]. Tongue, jaw, glottis, lip and velum gestures should be phased very accurately to produce fricatives [45, 46] bilabial stops [48] When speaking rate is increased or the number of intervocalic consonants is increased, studies show that articulatory relationships do not scale linearly [23, ....

....as classes of plosives or syllable codas may be constructed. In Carson Berndsen (1992) a new approach to the phonotactic description of German was proposed, starting from recent well motivated developments in phonology such as autosegmental phonology (Goldsmith, 1976,1990) articulatory phonology (Browman Goldstein, 1986,1989) underspecification theory (Archangeli, 1988; Keating, 1988) and phonological events (Bird Klein, 1990) For linguistic word modelling a flexible notion of compositionality is utilised, based on underspecified structures with autosegmental tiers of parallel phonological events which ....

....which are permissible in the language. The phonotactic constraint system describes an autosegmental representation of phonological events and the temporal relations (overlap, precedence and inclusion) which exist between them. This is in line with results of work in articulatory phonology by Browman and Goldstein (Browman and Goldstein 1986; Browman and Goldstein 1989) in connection with a parametric speech synthesis system where overlapping gestures from individual articulators all contribute to the realization of a particular utterance: differing degrees of overlap result in differing phonetic realizations.

....and association, while still maintaining the view (if they wish) that autosegments have internal duration. We said above that an event has a property. This property will correspond to a feature or a gesture. The notion of gesture that we have in mind corresponds broadly to that found in Browman Goldstein (1986, 1989) Ewen (1986) Lass (1983) Pierrehumbert Beckman (1988) The latter state [the elements] could be tones or phonemes, but also demisyllables, articulatory commands, or whatever (153) Further questions can obviously be raised as to whether such properties play a contrastive role in a ....

....regarded as purely conventional: the two levels have no sortal affinity in that one is purely physical and the other purely abstract and cognitive. Thus, it is for them nonsensical to claim that one set of entities such as systematic phonetic representations (Chomsky 1964) or gestures (Browman Goldstein 1986) could in any way be operative at both the phonological and phonetic levels. The classical distinction between type and token was introduced into semantics by the American philosopher C.S.Peirce (1940) According to this view, types are abstract, 30 The Representational Hypothesis lacking ....

....would like to suggest that there is some potential for convergence between the RH and another, more prominent view of the phonology phonetics relation which holds that there is no phonology phonetics interface . 3 There is no phonology phonetics interface This view, at least as presented by Browman and Goldstein (1986, 1989, 1990, 1992) Ohala (1990) and Pierrehumbert (1994) is amenable to a non procedural view of language sound structure. However, by contrast with the kind of semantic approach advocated by Pierrehumbert (1990) and those who associate themselves more explicitly with Declarative Phonology ....
