Typology in Optimality Theory
The mechanism of constraint re-ranking basis makes Optimality Theory (OT) a typologically oriented theory of phonology. Permuting the prioritization of constraints on a language-specific basis generates a factorial typology of phonological patterns. Patterns generated by an optimality-theoretic account can be compared with the set of attested patterns found in languages of the world to determin...
متن کاملOptimality 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 کاملphonological metathesis in persian: synchronic, diachronic, and the optimality theory
metathesis as a phonological phenomenon in order to reverse segments has been focus of many studies. metathesis according to the range of application can be sporadic or regular. it links synchronic studies of language to diachronic ones and thereby has some consequences for phonological theory. the central goal of this paper is to elucidate the conditions under which metathesis occurs synchroni...
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 کاملPhonological Derivation in Optimality Theory
Optimality Theory is a constraint-based theory of phonology which allows constraints to conflict and to be violated. Consequently, implementing the theory presents problems for declarative constraint-based processing frameworks. On the basis of two regularity assumptions, that sets are regular and that constraints can be modelled by transducers, this paper presents and proves correct algorithms...
