I first show that a single linguistic stimulus (e.g.\u00a0<em>panana<\/em>) elicits conflicting responses (preference vs. aversion), depending on the level of analysis (phonology vs. morphology). I next show that speakers with no command of a sign language spontaneously project these two parses to novel ABB signs in American Sign language.\u00a0Moreover, the chosen parse (for signs) is constrained by the morphology of their spoken language. Together, these findings demonstrate that (i) a single, invariant phonetic form can elicit conflicting linguistic parses; whereas (ii) a linguistic parse can remain invariant when the phonetic substance is radically altered \u0096 from speech to signs.<\/p>\n<p>These results suggest that doubling in speech and signs is constrained by a single set of linguistic principles that are amodal, algebraic and abstract.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gs\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"hi\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presenter: Iris Berent (Northeastern University)\u00a0 Title: Amodal Phonology Date\/Time:\u00a0Wednesday, November 14, 5:00-6:30pm Location:\u00a032-D831 Abstract: This talk evaluates the hypothesis that\u00a0the phonological grammar\u00a0is algebraic and amodal.\u00a0The first part of the talk examines the computational properties of the phonological grammar.
