Phonetic Faithfulness in Phonological Opacity
… sounds to satisfy the requirement of phonetic faithfulness, resulting in surface phonological opacity. This hypothesis yields a testable prediction: only phonetically natural processes, which possess an appropriate phonetic markedness condition, can become opaque. The results of typological …

Faithfulness of highest-weight modules for Iwasawa algebras
We prove faithfulness of infinite-dimensional generalised Verma modules for Iwasawa algebras corresponding to split simple Lie algebras with a Chevalley basis. We use this to prove faithfulness of all infinite-dimensional highest-weight modules in the case of type *A*. In this case we also show …

Evaluating Natural Language Generation Tasks for Grammaticality, Faithfulness and Diversity
… framework for assessing the grammaticality, faithfulness, and diversity (GFD) of generated text in NLG tasks. These three metrics are considered as essential linguistic qualities, which need to be present in the outputs of NLG models. Grammaticality is examined by analysing the parsability of …

Relational correspondence in tone sandhi

Constraints on vowel-zero alternations in Hungarian
