           Report number CMU-CS-90-138



ABSTRACT:
 This report contains three papers from an ongoing research project on
connectionist phonology.  The first introduces syllabification into our
``many maps'' processing model.  The second shows how syllabification and a
previously-described clustering mechanism can be used jointly to implement
the stress assignment rules of a number of languages.  The third paper
describes a preliminary version of a phonological rule-learning program
whose rule syntax is determined by the architecture of our model.

``Two Derivations Suffice: The Role of Syllabification in Cognitive
Phonology'' will appear in C. Tenny (ed.), The MIT Parsing Volume,
1989-1990.  MIT Center for Cognitive Science, Parsing Project Working
Papers 3.

``From Syllables to Stress: A Cognitively Plausible Model'' will appear in
K. Deaton, M. Noske, and M. Ziolkowski (eds.), CLS 26-II: Papers from
the Parasession on The Syllable in Phonetics and Phonology.  Chicago:
Chicago Linguistic Society, 1990.

``Phonological Rule Induction: An Architectural Solution'' will appear in
Proceedings of the Twelfth Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science
Society.  Hillsdale, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 1990.
