Common, Uncommon and Rare Phonological Disorders: An OT Perspective
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 c...
متن کاملComplexity of the Acquisition of Phonotactics in Optimality Theory
The problem of the acquisition of Phonotactics in OT is shown to be not tractable in its strong formulation, whereby constraints and generating function vary arbitrarily as inputs of the problem. Tesar and Smolensky (1998) consider the basic ranking problem in Optimality Theory (OT). According to this problem, the learner needs to find a ranking consistent with a given set of data. They show th...
متن کاملThe Benefits of Errors: Learning an OT Grammar with a Structured Candidate Set
We compare three recent proposals adding a topology to OT: McCarthy’s Persistent OT, Smolensky’s ICS and Bı́ró’s SA-OT. To test their learnability, constraint rankings are learnt from SA-OT’s output. The errors in the output, being more than mere noise, follow from the topology. Thus, the learner has to reconstructs her competence having access only to the teacher’s performance.
متن کاملAn online model of the acquisition of phonotactics within Optimality Theory
Within the mainstream phonological framework of Optimality Theory (OT), grammars are parameterized by how they prioritize or rank a given set of constraints. OT online learning consists of slight re-rankings triggered by exposure to a single piece of data at the time. This paper presents a new online model for the acquisition of phonotactics in OT. Convergence and correctness are analytically i...
متن کاملHandling Equivalence Classes of Optimality-theoretic Comparative Tableaux
Many Optimality-Theoretic tableaux contain exactly the same information, and equivalence-preserving operations on them have been an object of study for some two decades. This paper shows that several of the operations proposed in the earlier literature together are actually enough to express any possible equivalence-preserving transformation. Moreover, every equivalence class of comparative tab...
