Constraints on Optional that: A Strong Word Form OCP Effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
In addition to its use as complementizer or relativizer (henceforth optional that), that can also occur as a demonstrative determiner (henceforth determiner that) or pronoun (henceforth pronoun that). So, if the embedded subject of a complement or relative clause begins with determiner that, (3a), or if the subject is a pronoun that, (3b), speakers have the option to avoid uttering two adjacent thats by omitting the optional that.

Event-related potentials reflecting the processing of phonological constraint violations.
How are violations of phonological constraints processed in word comprehension? The present article reports the results of an event-related potentials (ERP) study on a phonological constraint of German that disallows identical segments within a syllable or word (CC(i)VC(i)). We examined three types of monosyllabic late positive CCVC words: (a) existing words [see text], (b) wellformed novel wor...
متن کاملLexically Ranked Ocp-place Constraints in Muna
In this paper, we analyze the consonant co-occurrence restrictions in the Austronesian language Muna. As in Arabic and other languages, homorganic segments are underrepresented, particularly ones that are also similar in other ways. However, in Muna [voice] plays an unusually central role in this pattern. We analyze the Muna restrictions within Optimality Theory, using OCP-PLACE constraints rel...
متن کاملIncorporating a class of constraints into the dynamics of optimal control problems
A method is proposed to systematically transform a constrained optimal control problem (OCP) into an unconstrained OCP, which can be treated in the standard calculus of variations. The considered class of constraints comprises up to m input constraints and m state constraints with well-defined relative degree, where m denotes the number of inputs of the given nonlinear system. Starting from an ...
متن کاملJapanese loanword devoicing revisited: A rating study
In Japanese loanword phonology, geminates optionally devoice when there is another voiced obstruent within the same stem, i.e., geminates may optionally devoice when they violate OCP(voice). This devoicing of OCP-violating geminates has received much attention in the recent phonological literature. However, the debates centering around this phenomenon have relied primarily on intuition-based da...
متن کاملM ar 2 00 7 NONLINEAR OPTIMAL CONTROL VIA OCCUPATION MEASURES AND LMI - RELAXATIONS
We consider the class of nonlinear optimal control problems (OCP) with polynomial data, i.e., the differential equation, state and control constraints and cost are all described by polynomials, and more generally for OCPs with smooth data. In addition, state constraints as well as state and/or action constraints are allowed. We provide a simple hierarchy of LMI (linear matrix inequality)-relaxa...
