Optimality Theory and Sound Change

Since Kiparsky (1968) it has been standard practice in generative phonology to account for sound change by means of rule addition, rule simplification, rule reordering and rule loss. Given that the phonological rule as such no longer exists in recently proposed constraint-based theories of phonology, such as Optimality Theory (cf. Prince and Smolensky (1993), McCarthy and Prince (1993a and b), ...

Press. Optimality Theory in Syntax

Optimality Theory in Syntax Géraldine Legendre Within generative approaches to syntax, OT stands as an alternative theory of constraint interaction to the Principle-and-Parameter Theory (PPT) of Universal Grammar articulated in Chomsky (1981). Comparing both theories helps understand what OT syntax is and what it is not. The fundamental claim of OT is that universal well-formedness constraints ...

The Emergence of Optimality Theory

Generative phonology has been dominant for roughly fifty years (Chomsky & Halle 1968, etc.) with Optimality Theory (OT) being the prevailing framework in phonology for over a decade (Prince & Smolensky 2004, etc.). Both theories share the assumption that Universal Grammar (UG) provides an inventory of universal distinctive features; OT also assumes that UG provides an inventory of universal con...

Phonology competes with syntax: experimental evidence for the interaction of word order and accent placement in the realization of Information Structure.

In this paper, we investigate the interaction of phonological and syntactic constraints on the realization of Information Structure in Greek, a free word order language. We use magnitude estimation as our experimental paradigm, which allows us to quantify the influence of a given linguistic constraint on the acceptability of a sentence. We present results from two experiments. In the first expe...

Vowel Harmony, Opacity, and Finite-State OT

In this paper I propose cyclic and stratal extensions to FiniteState Optimality Theory as treatments for vowel harmony and for opaque phenomena more generally. I develop a model of grammar and an accompanying set of constraints within a software model built on the opensource PyPhon toolkit—a computational implementation of OT’s Gen and EVAL algorithms. 0 Constraint-based grammars and typology S...
