LING 1001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Mnemonic, Morphine, Phonetics
Document Summary
Induction: many examples > induce the general rule (gathering data, making assumptions on it) Science e. g. see lots of swans > all swans are white (then see a black swan ), gravity: deduction: general principle > deduce the specifics. Math: shortest distance between two points = straight line > pythagorean geometry. Ug > deduce specifics without evidence: given all possible syllable types: How does child know ccv is not allowed: ug provides default value = cv when no positive evidence to the contrary. Phonetics: three branches of phonetics, articulatory - how sounds are made (with sound making devices-mouth) Acoustic - the physical properties of sounds in the e. g. air, water . Auditory - how sounds are perceived (in the brain: phonetic alphabet: (one sound one symbol)- you can"t predict how a word is spelled just by hearing it. English one symbol ( ea i ) many sounds: deaf great eat" diet mien fill.
