在音系学中,人们经常注意到,一些音系在类型上比其他音系更频繁。例如,将[i]改变为[u]的交替比将[i]改变为[i]的交替发生得更频繁(Chomsky和Halle,1968)。为了解释这种类型学上的不对称性,许多音系学理论都涉及到它们的语音基础:从语音学的角度来看,类型学上频繁的重复往往是“有意义的”(例如Donegan et al.,1979; Archangeli and Pulleybank,1994).关于语音的自然性如何引起类型学上的不对称,有两种建议。首先,认知偏见被认为在每个语言学习者的语音习得过程中发挥作用;这些偏见通常有利于语音自然发音的习得(例如Jusczyk,1998; Wilson,2006)。第二,声音的变化,发生在几代人的发言人一直认为,产生更多的语音自然的比不自然的(例如Ohala,1992年; Blevins,2004年)。因此,语音上的自然重复可能在类型学上是频繁的,因为它们更容易获得(共时视角),或者因为它们出现得更频繁(历时视角)。
In phonology, it has often been noted that some regularities are typologically more frequent than others. For example, alternations that change [i] to [u] occur more often than alternations that change [i] into [i] (Chomsky and Halle, 1968). In order to explain such typological asymmetries, many phonological theories refer to their phonetic bases: Typologically frequent regularities tend to ‘make sense’ from a phonetic point of view (e.g. Donegan et al., 1979; Archangeli and Pulleybank, 1994). Two proposals as to how phonetic naturalness gives rise to typological asymmetries are the following. First, cognitive biases have been argued to play a role during phonological acquisition in each individual language learner; these biases typically favor the acquisition of phonetically natural regularities (e.g. Jusczyk, 1998; Wilson, 2006). Second, sound changes that take place over generations of speakers have been argued to yield more phonetically natural regularities than unnatural ones (e.g. Ohala, 1992; Blevins, 2004). Thus, phonetically natural regularities might be typologically frequent because they are easier to acquire (synchronic perspective) or because they arise more frequently (diachronic perspective).
