| Abstract | How do naturalness and frequency interact in phonological learning? We tested the effect of frequency of exposure on the ability of adults to implicitly learn phonetically natural post-nasal voicing and phonetically unnatural post-nasal devoicing. Participants learned one of ten artificial languages: five showing voicing, and five showing devoicing. For voicing languages, learners generalized the alternation to novel stems more often with increased exposure. For devoicing languages, increased exposure did not increase the probability of generalization except at the highest level of exposure, supporting a bias for natural alternations and a frequency effect, but with a high threshold for unnatural alternations. |
