Non-Computable Functions in Optimality Theory
Is Optimality Theory a constraining theory? A formal analysis shows that it is, if two auxiliary assumptions are made: (1) that only markedness and faithfulness constraints are allowed, and (2) that input and output representations are made from the same elements. Such OT grammars turn out to be incapable of computing circular or infinite chain shifts. These theoretical predictions are borne ou...
متن کاملPositional Constraints in Optimality Theory and Harmonic Grammar
The ability of weighted constraints to model certain patterns that elude ranked constraints has often been taken to be typologically problematic (e.g., Prince & Smolensky 1993/2004, Legendre, Sorace & Smolensky 2006). This paper argues that the greater power of weighted constraints can actually be advantageous, permitting a smaller set of more general constraints to be employed in the analysis ...
متن کاملCorrespondence and identity constraints in two-level Optimality Theory
Sharon Inkelas. Although I have not been able to address all the points raised in these discussions, I am now aware of many more interesting issues, thanks to these people. One goal of post-SPE generative phonology has been to constrain possible input-output pairs. While SPE (Chomsky and Halle 1968) permitted any input-output pair to be stipulated, later work in Autosegmental Phonology and Feat...
متن کاملCase Constraints and Empty Categories in Optimality Theory Parsing
Double object questions are harder to process than the corresponding questions with prepositional objects (Boland 1997). When given the choice between the two, a parser prefers to wait and not associate a filler with a gap in a double object construction, contrary to the prediction of the Active Filler Hypothesis (Frazier 1987). I propose that the reason the parser holds back is that it wants t...
متن کاملNonparametric Learning of Phonological Constraints in Optimality Theory
We present a method to jointly learn features and weights directly from distributional data in a log-linear framework. Specifically, we propose a non-parametric Bayesian model for learning phonological markedness constraints directly from the distribution of input-output mappings in an Optimality Theory (OT) setting. The model uses an Indian Buffet Process prior to learn the feature values used...
