Harmonic Improvement without Candidate Chains in Chamorro
TLDR
It is argued that some ostensible advantages of Optimality Theory with Candidate Chains (OT-CC) over classic OT are actually liabilities, suggesting that despite OT-CC's advancements in treatments of opacity, the theory's machinery remains inadequate in important ways.
Vowel Harmony
The subject of this article is vowel harmony. In its prototypical form, this phenomenon involves agreement between all vowels in a word for some phonological property (such as palatality, labiality,…
Icelandic umlaut in Optimality Theory1
This paper presents an analysis of Icelandic umlaut in Optimality Theory. We account for umlaut in sal[œ]t-[Y]m ‘lettuce’ (dat. pl.) and d[œ:]g-[Y]m ‘day’ (dat. pl.), in which /a/ is fronted and…
Morphemic harmony as featural correspondence
Directionality and locality in vowel harmony : with special reference to vowel harmony in Assamese
Directionality and locality in vowel harmony
This dissertation concentrates on vowel harmony, a well-known process of assimilation where one vowel assumes similarity with regard to a certain feature in a neighbouring vowel. Recent work on vowel…
Weak Triggers in Vowel Harmony
This paper examines vowel harmony initiated by a weak trigger. Height harmony in Veneto Italian dialects, wherein a post-tonic high vowel triggers raising of preceding mid vowels, forms a case study.…
Infixation and segmental constraint effects: UM and IN in Tagalog, Chamorro, and Toba Batak
Unconditional neutrality: Vowel harmony in a two-place model
When embedded within contrastive specification, a two-place model of vowel features has far-reaching consequences for the description of harmonic phenomena, as well as for the roles of segments…
Ineffability in grammar
TLDR
The upshot of this study is that neither the lexicon-based nor the semantic ineffability cases are a problem for Optimality theory, since they are located in domains of grammar for which OT's architecture cannot be held responsible.
