Citations in the corpus
- The communicative function of ambiguity in language. (2011, neutral): “Alternatively, it may be the case that other articulatory effects (e.g. the Oblig-atory Contour Principle: Frisch, Broe, & Pierrehumbert, n.d.; McCarthy, 1985, 1986; Graff & Jaeger, 2009) are present at the syllable level and that this trend results from other kinds of articulatory constraints.”
- 2. Semitic verb structure within a universal perspective (2003, background): “In such representation, first proposed in McCarthy (1979) , the vocalic pattern and the consonantal root appear on distinct tiers.”
- The Phonology of Voicing in Japanese: Theoretical Consequences for Morphological Accessibility (2008, methodology): “For further discussion, see Levin (1983), McCarthy (1979; 1981), and Prince (1984).”
- Grammaticality and Ungrammaticality in Phonology (2008, background): “Following in the tradition of McCarthy (1985), I assume that Semitic consonants and vowels are represented on different plains.”
- The puzzle of Kashmiri stress: implications for weight theory (2000, background): “The first is a discussion of different theories of syllable geometry and how the Kashmiri stress system can be explained without either rhyme constituent branching (McCarthy 1979, Halle & Vergnaud 1980, Hayes 1981, etc.) or multiple moraic tiers (Hayes 1995).”
- The gradual path to cluster simplification* (2008, background): “Starting with the earliest work on prosodic morphology (McCarthy 1979, Marantz 1982, McCarthy & Prince 1986), it was assumed that prosodic templates make segments pronounceable by parsing them.”
