  1. Phonotactically probable word shapes represent attractors in the cultural evolution of sound patterns.Nikolaus Ritt & Theresa Matzinger - 2022 - Cognitive Linguistics 33 (2):415-446.
    Words are processed more easily when they have canonical phonotactic shapes, i.e., shapes that are frequent both in the lexicon and in usage. We explore whether this cognitively grounded constraint or preference implies testable predictions about the implementation of sound change. Specifically, we hypothesise that words with canonical shapes favour, or ‘select for’, sound changes that produce words with the same shapes. To test this, we investigate a Middle English sound change known as Open Syllable Lengthening. OSL lengthened vowels in (...)
