Lexically Specific Constraints: Gradience, Learnability, and Perception
Lexically specific constraints are indexed versions of constraints that apply only when a morpheme that bears that index is evaluated by the grammar. They have been used in Optimality Theory to deal with exceptions (e.g. Hammond 1995, Kraska-Szlenk 1997, Pater 2000), and have also been applied to the lexical strata of Japanese and other languages (Fukuzawa 1999, Itô and Mester 1999, 2001, Gelba...
متن کاملLearning opacity in Stratal Maximum Entropy Grammar
(Kiparsky 1971, 1973) draws attention to cases of historical change that suggest that at least some opaque phonological process interactions are difficult to learn. In his work on Stratal Optimality Theory (Stratal OT), he further claims that independent evidence about the stratal affiliation of a process is helpful in learning an opaque interaction (Kiparsky 2000). In this paper, we develop a ...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Modeling with Clausal Constraints
We present the learning system Maccent which addresses the novel task of stochastic MAximum ENTropy modeling with Clausal Constraints. Maximum Entropy method is a Bayesian method based on the principle that the target stochastic model should be as uniform as possible, subject to known constraints. Maccent incorporates clausal constraints that are based on the evaluation of Prolog clauses in exa...
متن کاملMorphologically-conditioned tonotactics in multilevel Maximum Entropy grammar*
Phonological sensitivity to lexical class has been addressed in the literature; at least two sets of hypotheses have been advanced regarding its codification in grammar. The first type of approach holds that lexical class differences are limited by restrictions in the design of grammar itself (or more specifically, Universal Grammar): for example, it has been hypothesized that only faithfulness...
متن کاملDoes MaxEnt Overgenerate? Implicational Universals in Maximum Entropy Grammar
It goes without saying that a good linguistic theory should neither undergenerate (i.e., it should not miss any attested patterns) nor overgenerate (i.e., it should not predict any “unattestable” patterns). Recent literature has argued that the Maximum Entropy (ME; Goldwater & Johnson 2003) framework provides a probabilistic extension of categorical Harmonic Grammar (HG; Legendre et al. 1990; S...
