This dissertation examines the question of how phonological alternations are learnt. In
constraint-based models of phonological learning, it is hypothesized that prior learning of …

This study investigates whether alternation learning is facilitated by a matching phonotactic
generalization. In a series of artificial grammar learning experiments, English learners were …

Saltatory alternations 'skip over'intermediate sounds, as in k~ s skipping over [t]. Recent
research has argued that saltation is diachronically unstable and documented one possible …

Phonological alternations often happen to conform to phonotactic regularities, from which a
single mechanism for phonotactics and alternations has been claimed. We note, however …

A rich body of psycholinguistic research demonstrates that the phonotactic well-formedness
of a monomorphemic (non) word has an effect on the way that word is processed when …
