Add to ORKGWalker (2000) generalizes a nasalized segment constraint hierarchy based on typological frequency (i.e., natural markedness), and artificial grammar learning is assumed to be able to test natural markedness. In order to verify if the results of artificial grammar learning match natural markedness (i.e., the more unmarked the pattern is, the easier it is to learn), this study examines nasal harmony by looking at one kind of natural markedness, a nasalized segment constraint hierarchy, and proposes experiments that could be conducted to test natural markedness
