Please post here on Weeks 12 and 13: structural bias in learning, and learning hidden structure.

Please post here on the Pak and Friesner reading, the Hyman reading, or anything related to the relationship between domains needed for intonation and segmental processes (Tuesday’s topic), and tone (Thursday’s).

Please put comments and questions on the syntax-phonology interface and intonation here.

Please put comments and questions on serial HG and its learning here.

Please put comments on the Coetzee and Pater chapter or any other aspect of class discussion this week here.

Please put comments and questions on the Week 4 readings on vowel harmony in Harmonic Serialism (McCarthy) and Harmonic Grammar (Potts et al.) and any aspect of class discussion here. If your comment has to do with the feature geometry discussion, which was scheduled for last week but we are only getting to this week, it’s probably best to put that in last week’s thread.

Please post comments or comments on the Week 3 reading (McCarthy), and on any aspect of class discussion in Week 3 here.

Please post comments and questions on the Week 2 readings (Pater/Lombardi), and on any aspect of class discussion in Week 2 here.

Please add comments to this post for questions or comments on the materials in Week 1, including the Prince and Smolensky reading.

Click the links to the left to find the syllabus, which includes the daily schedule and links to the readings, as well as the requirements for the course. One of the requirements is to write comments and questions on readings and class discussion on this blog – you will do that right here, as responses to posts I put up each week.
