Rebecca L. Morley uses computational models to examine how sound change relates to phonological knowledge. The study considers how perception, learning and memory interact, asking what a model must demonstrate to count as an explanation of linguistic behavior.
A sequence of models explores feedback, entrenchment, memory decay, frequency and contextual effects. As inconsistencies emerge, the analysis proposes changes and tests the consequences, linking the model’s formal properties to its theoretical claims. The complete 2019 monograph includes the original figures, model discussion and references.
