For linguists, psychologists, and other scholars and practitioners, researchers with the Learnability Project at Indiana University and affiliated sites discuss their approach and empirical findings into some aspects of phonological theory. Among their perspectives are the fundamentals of experimental design and treatment, innovation in treating chain shifts, the prominence paradox, and a typological evaluation of the split-margin approach to syllable structure in phonological acquisition.
