Words with the tonal UR of \/T3 T3\/ and those with \/T2 T3\/ are both pronounced as [T2 T3] in the SR. This leads to a phonological learning question: can speakers of Mandarin learn the correct \/T3 T3\/ UR from the [T2 T3] SR? In order to find out which UR speakers have learned for disyllabic words with [T2 T3] SR, I have developed a forced AABB reduplication diagnostic, in which \/T2 T3\/ and \/T3 T3\/ words have different reduplicated forms. A survey of the judgement of six speakers has shown that certain disyllabic words listed as &#8220;T3 T3&#8221; in the dictionary are prone to being &#8220;underlearned&#8221; as \/T2 T3\/ by speakers. Specifically, compositionally opaque &#8220;T3 T3&#8221; words with an available T2 alternative are the ones likely to be &#8220;underlearned&#8221; as \/T2 T3\/. The Mandarin data suggest that not only do speakers require evidence from morphophonological alternation to learn phonological mapping, but also that the alternation has to be identifiable by the learner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Boer Fu (MIT) Title: UR Underlearning of Mandarin Tone 3 Sandhi Words Time: Monday, March 14th, 5pm - 6:30pm Abstract: The process of tone 3 sandhi in Mandarin Chinese results in a case of neutralization.
