Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study focuses the nature of Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP), which bans similarity on various linguistic levels, in spontaneous speech. In particular, the study explores hitherto unknown effects of OCP on production using a speech corpus of Japanese. The goal of this study is to uncover 1) (potential) roles of OCP on linguistic patterns, and 2) patterns in the avoidance of OCP violations in spontaneous speech. By examining variations in geminate devoicing in Japanese loanwords, rendaku, and sentences with multiple accusative nouns, the study uncovered properties of OCP and patterns in repair strategies commonly observed in distinct linguistic phenomena.
