Harmonic Scales as Faithfulness

Dominance effects as trans- derivational anti-faithfulness*

This paper presents a theory of morphophonology based on a development in the theory of faithfulness in Optimality Theory. A new constraint type, antifaithfulness, is proposed that evaluates a pair of related words and requires an alternation in the shared stem. This constraint type is motivated initially by a set of problems, e.g. morphological deletions, segmental exchanges and non-structure ...

On the incompatibility of faithfulness and monotone DAG faithfulness

Cheng, Greiner, Kelly, Bell and Liu [Artificial Intelligence 137 (2002) 43–90] describe an algorithm for learning Bayesian networks that—in a domain consisting of n variables—identifies the optimal solution using O(n4) calls to a mutual-information oracle. This result relies on (1) the standard assumption that the generative distribution is Markov and faithful to some directed acyclic graph (DA...

Prosodic Faithfulness in Cupeno

Faithfulness and Reduplicative Identity

1 Workshop at which this work was first presented (Utrecht, June 22-24, 1994). For comments on this material, we are grateful to them and the other workshop participants, especially Austin have provided valuable feedback; and the comments, questions, and suggestions from the participants in the (eventually joint) UMass and Rutgers Correspondence Theory seminars were particularly important for t...
