	Assimilation (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Assimilation is a regular and frequent sound change process by which a phoneme changes to match an adjacent phoneme in a word.
		A common example of assimilation is vowels being 'nasalized' before nasal consonants as it is difficult to change the shape of the mouth sufficiently quickly.
		Assimilation may result in the neighbouring segments becoming identical, yielding a geminate consonant; this is complete assimilation.

	Department of Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences: Concentration in Linguistics
		Linguists may study the structure or history of a single language, or language family in depth in an effort to discover the principles by which language is organized and the principles by which it changes.
		Linguistic theory posits that language is a system governed by certain principles that relate sound and meaning; linguistics seeks to discover and formulate these principles.
		Concentrators in linguistics may explore the field from a variety of perspectives and may study a number of different areas, which contribute to an understanding of the nature of languages and its place within human behavior.

		The pattern of performance across various nonnative contrasts forms the basis for the Perceptual Assimilation Model of cross-language speech perception I have developed with my students and colleagues, which posits that mature listeners' discrimination reflects their perception of phonetic-articulatory similarities between nonnative segments and native phonological contrasts.
		In the second part of the talk an alternative, cognitive, approach to non-truth-conditional linguistic meaning will be explored, which has a natural place in the relevance-theoretic approach to communication and cognition.

	Encyclopedia: Assimilation (linguistics)
		Assimilation Coarticulation in phonetics refers to two different phenomena: the assimilation of the place of articulation of one speech sound to that of an adjacent speech sound.
		I think there should be an article named "assimilation" with "assimilate" and "melting pot" pointing to it.
		We can speak of 1) the assimilation of an individual through voluntary immigration or 2) the assimilation of an entire people by another one, typically in a position of power and numerical superiority.

	HLW: Word Forms: Processes: Assimilation
		The approximant [∂] preserves this opening, and in this sense it is an example of assimilation: the consonant takes on one of the features of the previous phone (in the case of /r/ it is the open state of the oral cavity following the tap itself).
		Though we probably cannot call it assimilation because the oral cavity is open before and after the consonant and closed as the consonant is produced, this does appear to be a Speaker-oriented process.
		These are not examples of assimilation: the /t/ in stop cannot be said to agree with the /s/ that precedes it or the /α/ that follows it any more than it would if it were aspirated.

	Linguistics FAQ
		Linguistics is also very new because Western science didn't put all this together into a useful discipline until about 200 years ago, and didn't invent many other useful ways to study other aspects of human language until the present century.
		Linguistics is a bit unusual as a discipline because human language is so ubiquitous that it permeates everything in our experience.
		In the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts of the University of Michigan, the Linguistics Department is housed administratively in the Division of Humanities, though its studies range far beyond that.

		A more satisfactory account of restrictions on consonant harmony can be derived from the hypothesis that assimilation is strictly local, so intervening vowels are not transparent to consonant harmony, they undergo it.
		Strict locality in assimilation implies that there is no transparency to assimilation, but there are a number of prima facie cases of consonant harmony for which this claim seems implausible, e.g.
		It will be argued that these are not in fact cases of assimilation but result from a dispreference for similar but non-identical consonants within the morpheme or word.

	Linguistics Colloquium
		Although attempts have been made at explaining away some apparent cases of non-local assimilation as a mere illusion (in that the intervening so-called transparent segments are in fact phonetically affected after all), a significant residue still remains which cannot be reinterpreted in this way.
		non-local assimilation, have their roots in the domain of speech planning (phonological encoding for speech encoding.
		An advantage of this result is that some of the anomalous properties of the systems in question receive straightforward explanations, and the general typology of "true" consonant harmony phenomena becomes somewhat tidier.

		Linguistic context is discourse that precedes a sentence to be interpreted and situational context is knowledge about the world.
		Linguistic changes like sound shift is found in the history of all languages, as evidenced by the regular sound correspondences that exist between different stages of the same language, different dialects, and different languages.
		Linguists identify regular sound correspondences using the comparative method among the cognates (words that developed from the same ancestral language) of related languages.

	AcademicDB - Chomsky and Piaget: Assimilation and Accommodation.
		This notion of the formation of image schemas is similar to Piaget's description of cognitive development proceeding through a process of accommodation and assimilation.
		However, it differs in that the formation of image schemas is thought to require innately specified mechanisms of analysis, though the content, as Piaget would agree is not necessarily innately specified (Mandler, 1993).
		Certain linguistic properties are thought to be innate because they appear universally and in the absence of corresponding experience (see Crain, 1991, for an overview).

		Also, assimilation occurs for salience as well as for traditional types of parts, such as color, where assimilation is a context-produced increase in similarity.
		Therefore, assimilation-in-salience theory holds that parts assimilate to their organization-produced high-in-salience group, thus increase in salience, and hence are retained better.
		When this part belongs to a high-in-salience group, the part assimilates in salience to the group and thereby undergoes a large increase in salience.

	NYU Department of Linguistics: Loanwords: Abstract
		The phonological processes by which loanwords are assimilated into Japanese have been described by Itô and Mester (1993), Stanlaw (1992), and Sonoda (1975).
		However, developing a model for loanword assimilation has been problematic, especially for models which view loans as a separate sublexicon with a phonology distinct from the native lexicon (Kiparsky 1982).
		The assimilation of foreign segments or syllable structures not found in the native phonology causes Faithfulness constraints to move with respect to Markedness constraints.

		Linguistically they did this by talking their (slightly deviant) variety of YD within the group, and English (JE) with members of the other group (cf.
		The (forced) cultural assimilation and the strong linguistic pressure of English as the exclusive official language have been decisive for the change and fall of Dyirbal.
		The formal reduction occurs on all levels of linguistic description, ranging from the phonology by morphologic and syntactic reduction up to semantic and lexical phenomena, all of which can be regarded as indicators of the decay of Dyirbal in its traditional form.

		An important aspect of any assimilation process is the directionality pattern it displays, i.e.
		In earlier derivational frameworks of generative phonology, directionality was a purely trivial matter to handle; it was simply stipulated directly in the phonological rule representing the assimilation process in question.
		Most of these happen to be instances of consonant harmony, rather than of vowel harmony or local assimilation.

		Indeed, loanword adaptations do not involve synchronic alternations, but rather consist of transformations that are applied only during the introduction of the loanwords.
		I argue that these transformations are the result of the psychological process of perceptual assimilation, that maps foreign sound patterns onto the acoustically closest native ones.
		I illustrate my proposal with data from perception experiments that, combined with phonetic analyses, show that loanword adaptations are the reflex of perceptual assimilation.

		Some researchers have claimed that nasals are cross-linguistically more likely than stops to undergo place assimilaton because they have weaker perceptual cues to their place of articulation.
		Re-interpreting the data from the previous perception experiments indicates the proportion of bursts in the two languages is not great enough to give stops a consistent perceptual advantage over nasals.
		The results of this analysis suggest that cross-linguistic patterns in place assimilation are best understood as the product of various phonetic factors on the structure of phonology.
