Deficits in phonology and past-tense morphology: What's the connection? (2003, background): “While some irregular past tense forms have long vowels followed by a stop (strode) and others end in two stops (kept), none contain a long vowel followed by two stops as in beeped; indeed, few if any words in English at all, apart from regular past-tense forms, have this structure, which is why Burz”
Weighted Constraints in Generative Linguistics (2009, background): “…and Pater (2007) sketch an account of how phonological constraints could be constructed based on phonological structures in the learning data (see Burzio, 2002; Hayes & Wilson, 2008 for related precedents), and also an account of how phonetic tendencies could become phonological constraints over…”
Suffix Ordering and Morphological Processing (2009, background): “In the spirit of Burzio (2002), we note that the words with properties that make them eminently parsable thanks to very low transitional bigram frequencies may also be the words that are more difficult to pronounce due to the presence of more complex consonant clusters.”
