On Segments and Syllables in the Sound Structure of Langage: Curve-Based Approaches to Phonology and the Auditory Representation of Speech. (original) (raw)

This article examines the relationship between segments and syllables within speech processing, emphasizing the role of phonological representations in psycholinguistics. It discusses theoretical approaches to the syllable and their connection to segments, suggesting that both levels of representation are dynamically interconnected. The authors advocate for a curve-based perspective to understand speech perception and phonology, proposing that these representations emerge from continuous functions, which align with recent phonological theories.
