Abstract

I present LIbPhon, a nonparametric regression-based model of phonologi cal acquisition that induces a generalised and productive pattern of vowel harmony---including opaque and transparent neutrality---on the basis of simplified formant data. The model quickly learns to generate harmonically correct morphologically complex forms to which it has not been exposed.
