  • Spoken language achieves robustness and evolvability by exploiting degeneracy and neutrality.Bodo Winter - 2014 - Bioessays 36 (10):960-967.
    As with biological systems, spoken languages are strikingly robust against perturbations. This paper shows that languages achieve robustness in a way that is highly similar to many biological systems. For example, speech sounds are encoded via multiple acoustically diverse, temporally distributed and functionally redundant cues, characteristics that bear similarities to what biologists call “degeneracy”. Speech is furthermore adequately characterized by neutrality, with many different tongue configurations leading to similar acoustic outputs, and different acoustic variants understood as the same by recipients.

  • Sonority as a Phonological Cue in Early Perception of Written Syllables in French.Méghane Tossonian, Ludovic Ferrand, Ophélie Lucas, Mickaël Berthon & Norbert Maïonchi-Pino - 2020 - Frontiers in Psychology 11.
    Many studies focused on the letter and sound co-occurrences to account for the well-documented syllable-based effects in French in visual (pseudo)word processing. Although these language-specific statistical properties are crucial, recent data suggest that studies which go all-in on phonological and orthographic regularities may be misguided in interpreting how – and why – readers locate syllable boundaries and segment clusters. Indeed, syllable-based effects could depend on more abstract, universal phonological constraints that rule and govern how letter and sound occur and co-occur, (...)
