Optimality Theory and phonological acquisition
The past ten years have shown an ever-increasing revival of interest in phonological acquisition. The introduction of Optimality Theory (OT; Prince & Smolensky 1993) has played a major role in this revival. Both “markedness” and “constraints on outputs” have often figured in accounts of phonological development, and these concepts are central in OT. The most fundamental change is probably that ...
متن کاملOptimality theory in phonological acquisition.
This tutorial presents an introduction to the contemporary linguistic framework known as optimality theory (OT). The basic assumptions of this constraint-based theory as a general model of grammar are first outlined, with formal notation being defined and illustrated. Concepts unique to the theory, including "emergence of the unmarked," are also described. OT is then examined more specifically ...
متن کاملOptimality Theory , Phonological Acquisition and Disorders
This volume represents a synthesis of collaborative research from Indiana University’s Learnability Project. Its chapters report data, methods, treatments, and findings derived primarily from corpora of nearly three hundred English-learning children aged 3 to 7 with ‘functional (non-organic) phonological delays’, referred to hereafter in this review as PDs. The book sustains an extended argumen...
متن کاملPhonological Acquisition in Optimality Theory: The Early Stages
Recent experimental work indicates that by the age of ten months, infants have already learned a great deal about the phonotactics (legal sounds and sound sequences) of their language. This learning occurs before infants can utter words or apprehend most phonological alternations. I will show that this early learning stage can be modeled with Optimality Theory. Specifically, the Markedness and ...

Recent experimental work indicates that by the age of ten months, infants have already learned a great deal about the phonotactics (legal sounds and sound sequences) of their language. This learning occurs before infants can utter words or apprehend most phonological alternations. I will show that this early learning stage can be straightforwardly modeled with Optimality Theory.
