\nWe expand the seminal work of Frisch et al. (2004) by presenting a
\nlarge scale investigation of place-driven consonant co-occurrence
\nrestrictions (OCP-Place) in Arabic, Amharic, Aymara, Ch’ol, Dutch,
\nEnglish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Javanese, Muna, Quechua,
\nTagalog, Turkish and Zulu utilizing the framework of the Generalized
\nLinear Model. We propose a constraint set that successfully accounts
\nfor OCP-Place and identity effects in all languages. A
\nmarkedness-based account of the cross-linguistic dispreference for
\nco-occurring similar consonants sharing place features and preference
\nfor co-occurring identical consonants is presented. Concretely, it
\nwill be shown that OCP-Place typology can be accounted for by a set of
\nprobabilistic constraints that penalize featural co-occurrence of
\nsimilar consonant pairs according to the Similarity Metric of Natural
\nClasses (Frisch et al., 2004) weighted depending on the major place
\nfeature they share (Similarity-LAB<\/span>, Similarity-COR<\/span>, Similarity-DOR<\/span>;
\ncontra FBP, who propose that the relative similarity of consonants
\nsharing different major place features follows from the organization
\nof the consonant inventory of the language). We also show that
\nidentity effects are best accounted for by postulating a violable
\nmarkedness constraint penalizing non-identical pairs of consonants
\n(Identity<\/span>; cf BeIdentical<\/span>; MacEachern, 1997) but note that the domain
\nof this constraint must crucially be restricted to the first and
\nsecond position of a consonant template.<\/P><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Speaker: Peter Graff (MIT) Title: A Cross-linguistic Investigation of the OCP-Place Time: Thursday 10\/7, 12:30—1:45pm Location: 32-D461 We expand the seminal work of Frisch et al.
