چکیده

In this article we develop a musical parser which is based on Lerdahl and Jackendoff’s Generative Theory of Tonal Music (1983). Their preference rules are adapted to incorporate recent insights from linguistic theory, in particular from Optimality Theory. Crucially, Optimality Theory provides us with a conflict resolution mechanism which allows us to determine unambiguously which rule is to be obeyed in case of a conflict between rules. The musical parser takes the form of a computational model which determines an optimal grouping structure for any given sequence of pitch events. Its viability is tested empirically by comparing its results with the results obtained from ten human subjects.
