Figure 1. Finite-state grammar used to generate grammatical syllable sequences for explicit and implicit learning.

Grammatical syllable sequences are generated by starting at the leftmost ‘In’ state and then following a path of arrows until the rightmost ‘Out’ state is reached. For each arrow traversed, the indicated syllable is added to the syllable sequence. For example, pok kun dem dem tik is grammatical, and pok kun tik guk pok is ungrammatical.
