An ongoing debate in phonology concerns the treatment of cumulative constraint interactions, or ‘gang effects’, and by extension the question of which phonological frameworks are suitable models of the grammar. This paper uses a series of artificial grammar learning experiments to examine the inferences that learners draw about cumulative constraint violations in phonotactics in the absence of a confounding natural-language lexicon. I find that learners consistently infer linear counting and ganging cumulativity across a range of phonotactic violations.

语音学中的约束累积性：来自人工语法学习研究的证据

语音学中正在进行的辩论涉及累积约束相互作用或“帮派效应”的处理，以及哪些语音框架是合适的语法模型的问题。本文使用一系列人工语法学习实验来检验学习者在没有混淆自然语言词典的情况下对语音策略中累积约束违规的推断。我发现学习者在一系列语音违规中始终推断出线性计数和组合累积性。
