ABSTRACT This project concerns the development of the theory of harmonic phonology, and proposes a mathematical implementation based loosely on connectionist principles for the implementation of certain rules in the system. The goal of harmonic phonology is to elaborate an account of phonological systems in which a central role is given to the generalization that phonological rules consistently serve to increase the conformity of phonological representations to general well-formedness conditions, or phonotactics. The investigator will study a range of languages throughout the world, and show that their phonological processes consistently serve to increase the well-formedness of their representations on one of three distinct phonological levels. Such a view is compatible with a view of phonology as a system seeking maximal constraint-satisfaction, a view that allows for computational implementation in ways that have not been attempted before.

该项目涉及和声音系学理论的发展，并提出了一种松散地基于联结主义原理的数学实现，以实现系统中的某些规则。调和音系学的目标是对音系系统进行详细的阐述，在这些系统中，中心角色被给予这样的概括，即音系规则一致地用于增加音系表示与一般结构良好的条件或音韵学的一致性。研究人员将研究世界各地的一系列语言，并表明它们的语音过程始终有助于在三个不同的语音水平中的一个上增加其表征的完好性。这样的观点与音系学作为寻求最大约束满足的系统的观点是兼容的，这种观点允许以以前从未尝试过的方式进行计算实施。
