Phonology and phonetics of English stress and vowel reduction
Modern Greek accent and faithfulness constraints in OT
Missing players
Zero Derivations
Rubach (2000) proposes a modified version of Optimality Theory (OT) that features derivations. While Prince and Smolensky's (1993) original formulation requires some modification, argue here that, rather than reintroducing derivations, the correct approach is to take fuller advantage of OT's inherent parallelism. I propose that outputs must be related not only to inputs, but to other, "neighboring" representations as well-a feature that is shared…
Segmental contrast meets output-to-output faithfulness
Work on segmental contrast and work on allomorphic variation within OT has been converging on the conclusion that outputs are not calculated only from unique 'inputs', but are rather also influenced by other outputs, in a way that seeks to eliminate weak contrasts. I propose a unified approach to this effect and note that it thus unifies solutions to a significant number of empirical problems for OT, that go from cyclicity, to 'Non-Derived-Enviro…
Multiple correspondence
Recent work has proposed a reinterpretation of allomorphy in terms of relations between surface forms rather than in terms of a common underlying representation. Burzio (1994a) argues that accentual similarities within pairs like phenomenon/phenomenology, american/ americanize are due to a 'metrical consistency' constraint applying across surface forms. McCarthy (1995), Benua (1995, 1997) formulate a similar hypothesis by extending the notion of …
English stress, vowel length and modularity
The evolution of phonological theory over the past fifteen years or so mirrors in important respects that of syntactic theory. The common evolutionary characteristic is the emergence of modularity. As is frequently noted following Chomsky (1986: ch. 3), in syntax, rich systems of rules have been supplanted by a relatively small number of discrete sub-theories, such as the theories of thematic relations, Case, Binding, Government, and the theory o…
The morphological basis of anaphora
Chomsky (1981: 188, 220; 1986a: 166) formulates the Binding Theory essentially as in (1). (1) (A) An anaphor must be locally bound (B) A pronoun must not be locally bound (C) An R-expression must not be bound The notion ‘bound’ is defined as ‘c-commanded by a co-referential element’. As for the notion ‘locally’, that of Chomsky (1986a) differs somewhat from that of Chomsky (1981), and much recent literature addresses the issue, especially in conn…
