چکیده
COMMON, UNCOMMON, AND RARE PHONOLOGICAL DISORDERS: AN OT PERSPECTIVE John Kinney, M.A. George Mason University, 2004 Thesis Director: Dr. Steven H. Weinberger This thesis analyzes phonological disorders with derivational theory and Optimality Theory (OT). Because of its typological nature, OT is shown to be a better theory in which to analyze phonological disorders. Phonological disorders are classified into three sub-types here: common, uncommon, and rare. Within the framework of OT, distinct constraint rankings are proposed for each sub-type. These rankings are also compared with normal acquisition and adult grammar.

Optimality 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 کاملRussian Loanword Adaptation in Persian; Optimal Approach
In this paper we analyzed some of the phonological rules of Russian loanword adaptation in Persian, on the view of Optimal Theory (OT) (Prince and Smolensky, 1993, 2003). It is the first study of phonological process on Russian loanwords adaptation in Persian. By gathering about 50 current Russian loanwords, we selected some of them to analyze. We found out that vowel insertion, vowel prothesis...
متن کاملAssociation of Porokeratosis, Vitiligo, Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus and Lichen Planus: A case report
Although lichen planus and vitiligo are common skin disorders, their association with two other uncommon diseases, i.e. lichen sclerosus et atrophicus and disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis, seems to be a very rare occurrence. We report herein a 70-year-old man who developed all of these four skin disorders simultaneously.
متن کاملTwo Perspectives on Malagasy Reduplication: Derivational and Ot Analyses∗
Malagasy is an Austronesian language with a productive reduplication morphology that applies to both roots and affixed stems. In this paper, we focus on the reduplication of a class of verbs in Malagasy. These verbs often appear with an active voice marker “an-” that triggers alternation in the root-initial consonants. The reduplication of the “an”-verbs is analyzed within two different framewo...
متن کاملThe “Rare” or “Non-LCH” Histiocytic Disorders in Childhood: A Brief Overview
Diseases of the monocyte, macrophage and dendritic cell system are referred to as histiocytoses. Based on improved understanding of their pathobiology and molecular background histiocytoses have been recently re-classified into five groups. Nevertheless, for practical reasons the histiocytoses are grouped into: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (the most common entity), hemophagocytic lymphohistioc...
