Building on Gyuris (2022), talán will be treated as signaling epistemic bias in both declaratives and interrogatives. Following Farkas (2022), vajon will be treated as a non-intrusive question marker, which, in the account proposed, is incompatible with bias markers. The restrictions on the sentence types in which these particles occur, as well as the fact that there are restrictions on their co-occurence, will be derived from their interpretive contribution.","PeriodicalId":225121,"journal":{"name":"Approaches to Hungarian 18","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123825794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that in devoicing contexts the contrast between /s/ and /z/ in\u0000 minimal pairs is more likely to be upheld than in non-minimal pairs in production, and this difference seems to map onto\u0000 perceptual contrast, also that complete neutralisation can be prevented in devoicing contexts by durational cues. In the voicing\u0000 environment, the acoustic difference between the fricatives is less likely to map onto a contrast in perception, indicating\u0000 neutralisation. In the devoicing context, little voicing is enough to categorise the fricative as voiced: listeners compensate for\u0000 phonological changes that correspond to existing rules in their language rather than for those that are only coarticulatory in\u0000 nature.","PeriodicalId":225121,"journal":{"name":"Approaches to Hungarian 18","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121517132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
