This dissertation investigates perception, acquisition, and neural processing of consonant clusters not attested in English. Until recently it was assumed that when presented with familiar sounds in unfamiliar combinations, listeners perceive these combinations accurately. This assumption has been recently challenged and it has been shown that the native phonological grammar tends to "repair" phonotactic violations to conform to the rules of the native language (Berent et al., 2007, 2009; Dupoux et al., 1999; Halle et al., 1998).

520 $a This dissertation investigates perception, acquisition, and neural processing of consonant clusters not attested in English. Until recently it was assumed that when presented with familiar sounds in unfamiliar combinations, listeners perceive these combinations accurately. This assumption has been recently challenged and it has been shown that the native phonological grammar tends to "repair" phonotactic violations to conform to the rules of the native language (Berent et al., 2007, 2009; Dupoux et al., 1999; Halle et al., 1998).
520 $a This work contains two studies. Study 1 consists of two psycholinguistic experiments investigating factors at play in perception and acquisition of unattested consonant clusters. It examines whether phonological principles, such as sonority, successfully predict listeners' perception and course of acquisition of unattested clusters, or if other factors also play a role and are necessary in explaining the pattern of results.
520 $a The results indicate that while there is evidence for the role of sonority principles, alone they are insufficient in accounting for the observed data and at least some phonetic factors are also necessary. Furthermore, the language environment in which unattested clusters are presented may also play a role in perception.
520 $a Study 2---a functional MRI experiment---focuses on identifying the neural substrates underlying perception of the native and unfamiliar foreign phonology. In this experiment we observed different patterns of activation and behavioral responses for stimuli presented in English vs. an unfamiliar foreign language---Russian, as well as words vs. nonwords, and legal vs. illegal nonwords.
520 $a Together these experiments add new knowledge to the study of auditory language processing, specifically at the level of the phonological grammar. They provide further evidence for grammar's reliance on universal principles of markedness and for the previous finding of accurate perception at the acoustic/phonetic level of processing. In addition, this research helps identify the factors that control how active the grammar is, how violations of the grammar's constraints are repaired, and how these repairs are adjusted in the course of training. Finally, the neuroimaging experiment localizes some aspects of phonological processing to the left temporal regions, providing a neuro-anatomical basis for the cognitive function explored in Study 1.
