Reduplication in Harmonic Serialism

open access: yesMorphology, 2012
In standard Optimality Theory, faithfulness constraints are defined in terms of an input-output correspondence relation, and similar constraints are applied to the correspondence relation between a stem and its reduplicative copy. In Harmonic Serialism, a derivational version of Optimality Theory, there is no input-output correspondence relation, and ...

Learning Opaque and Transparent Interactions in Harmonic Serialism

open access: yesProceedings of the Annual Meetings on Phonology, 2016
This paper presents initial modeling results comparing the relative learnability of four basic types of process interactions: bleeding, feeding, counterfeeding and counterbleeding. The principle finding is that the learning model does not predict an absolute hierarchy of learning difficulty based on the type of process interaction involved.

Metrical Tone Shift and Spread in Harmonic Serialism

open access: yesProceedings of the Annual Meetings on Phonology, 2016
This paper proposes a framework for the analysis of bounded tone patterns, where tone shifts or spreads across a small distance. The framework starts from the idea that foot structure drives such tone processes, with foot edges acting as targets for tone association.

Implications of Harmonic Serialism for lexical tone association

open access: yes, 2012
In some languages, notably Kikuyu, the association of tones and syllables is completely predictable. In this paper, we show that a derivational version of Optimality Theory, Harmonic Serialism, cannot account for Kikuyu if underlying representations include preassociated tones.

John J. McCarthy and Joe Pater (eds.): Harmonic grammar and harmonic serialism.

open access: yesNorsk Lingvistisk Tidsskrift, 2019
This volume contains chapters that explore and extend advances in formal investigations of grammar that employ violable constraints in the analysis of individual languages, the study of linguistic typology, and the learnability of grammars.

The Investigation of Phonological Changes in the Negative Prefix of Kalhori Kurdish Preceding a Glide: a Serial Optimality Theoretic Account [PDF]

open access: yesمطالعات زبان‌‌ها و گویش‌های غرب ایران, 2022
When the negative prefix of na- is added to Kalhori Kurdish verbal constructions with initial glides, the vowel of the prefix is left intact in certain contexts, and yet in others, undergoes partial or full assimilation of Place features with its ...

Gradual Vowel Epenthesis in Urban Hijazi Arabic

open access: yesLanguages, 2021
In this paper, vowel epenthesis in Urban Hijazi Arabic is analysed as a process of gradual structural build-up. Harmonic Serialism, a derivational framework of Optimality Theory, provides the theoretical foundation to illustrate the arguments.
