We explore the implications of a particular approach to learning for an architectural question in phonology. The learning approach follows the principle of Minimum Description Length (MDL), which has recently been used for learning in both constraint-based and rule-based phonology. The architectural question on which we focus is whether the grammar allows language-specific statements to be made at the level of the lexicon, as was assumed in early generative phonology, or whether such statements are prohibited, as is commonly assumed within more recent work. We show that under MDL, the architectural question has real empirical implications: across a range of seemingly natural representational schemes, an ability to make language-specific statements about the lexicon is needed to ensure the learnability of an important aspect of phonological knowledge.

对基础表示的约束的条件可学习性论证

我们探讨了一种特殊的学习方法对语音学中的建筑问题的影响。学习方法遵循最小描述长度 (MDL) 原则,该原则最近已用于基于约束和基于规则的音系学中的学习。我们关注的架构问题是语法是否允许在词汇级别上进行特定语言的陈述,就像早期生成音系学中假设的那样,或者是否禁止此类陈述,就像最近工作中通常假设的那样。我们表明,在 MDL 下,架构问题具有真正的经验意义:在一系列看似自然的表征方案中,
