the realization optimality theory is a recent development in the original optimality theory which is proposed to deal with morphological issues especially the inflectional ones. its main idea is to consider the morphological realization rules as ranked violable language-specific constraints that control the realization processes and provide phonological information of grammatical morphemes. thi...

this paper provides an optimality-theoretic account of dissimilation in standard persian as well as some other accents and dialects of persian. as such, this work starts by introducing optimality theory (henceforth ot) and its basic concepts and then it investigates dissimilation in this framework. it argues for the superiority of ot over derivational approaches regarding a case in which both d...

this paper aims at describing the mechanism of german loanwords adaptation with respect to constraints of persian language and within ot framework. consequently the adaptation of consonant clusters and diphthongs as well as the phonemes substituted in loanwords will be examined. prince and smolensky’s (1993) optimality theory with its key notions of faithfulness and markedness constraints is su...

In this paper, we will discusse the strong optimality of general interval linear program (IvLP), that is, the IvLP has an optimal solution for each realization, and some necessary and sufficient conditions are established, based on the duality theory.

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...

this paper provides an analysis of persian verbs within the framework of optimality theory. to be more specific, it mainly cocentrates on past and present stems of persian verbs. since analyzing this subject within the derivational framework would result phonological rules which are not natural, it is analysed by optimality theory which is one of the constraint-based approach. based on this, we...

A method for optimal actuator design in vibration control is presented. The actuator, parametrized as a characteristic function, found by means of the topological derivative LQR cost. An abstract framework proposed based on theory infinite-dimensional optimization both shape and associated problem. numerical realization optimality condition developed using level-set derivatives. example illustr...

In this paper, we present two methods which generalize static team theory to dynamic team theory, in the context of continuous-time stochastic nonlinear differential decentralized decision systems, with relaxed strategies, which are measurable to different noisy information structures. For both methods we apply Girsanov’s measure transformation to obtain an equivalent decision system under a re...
