Modeling Distinctive Feature Emergence Jeff Mielke 281-289 (complete pdf) This paper provides an account of the abundance of natural classes without recourse to innate features. Evidence is provided from a computational model of class emergence which is based on readily observable aspects of phonetic similarity. Data for the simulation is provided by a featureless phonetic similarity metric which is based on objective acoustic and articulatory measurements, including ultrasound and airflow data.
