No Metathesis in Harmonic Serialism
Proceedings of the Annual Meetings on Phonology, 2018 This paper presents a Harmonic Serialism analysis of synchronic metathesis, proposing to eliminate metathesis as an atomic operation, instead analyzing apparent metathesis cases as a result of the sequential application of simpler operations such as copy + deletion or fusion + fission, and not as segment reordering.

Majority Rule in Harmonic Serialism
Proceedings of the Annual Meetings on Phonology, 2019 Majority Rule is an unattested process where agreement is controlled by the largest class in the input. As a function from inputs to outputs, Majority Rule requires more computational expressivity than do attested phonological transformations. This paper examines how Majority Rule arises in parallel Optimality Theory and Harmonic Serialism. It is shown

Lapsed Derivations: Ternary Stress in Harmonic Serialism [PDF]
Linguistic Inquiry, 2015 Ternary stress presents a unique challenge to constraint-based metrical stress theories. The main question is how to model ternarity without ternary-specific representations, such as ternary feet. Along this line of reasoning, Elenbaas and Kager (1999) interpret ternarity as an underparsing effect in which long lapses are avoided while the number of ...

A restrictive, parsimonious theory of footing in directional Harmonic Serialism [PDF]
Phonology, 2022 AbstractThis paper develops a theory of footing in Harmonic Serialism (HS; Prince & Smolensky 1993/2004; McCarthy 2000, 2016) where Con contains only directionally evaluated constraints (Eisner 2000, 2002; Lamont 2019, 2022a, 2022b). Directional constraints harmonically order candidates by the location of violations rather than the total number of ...

Metrical Tone Shift and Spread in Harmonic Serialism
Proceedings 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.

Syllabification and Opacity in Harmonic Serialism [PDF]
, 2012 This dissertation explores Harmonic Serialism in the realm of syllabification. Harmonic Serialism is a derivational version of Optimality Theory (OT). In this model, GEN is restrained by a gradualness condition on candidate generation by which candidates only introduce one single modification with respect to the (latest) input, until convergence on the

Gradual Vowel Epenthesis in Urban Hijazi Arabic
Languages, 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.

Analyzing opacity with contextual faithfulness constraints
Glossa, 2020 Phonological opacity is well-studied and there are numerous proposals in the literature which analyze opacity in Optimality-Theoretic grammars. However, many analyses include significant elaborations to the basic architecture of Optimality Theory (Prince

Revisiting Top-Down Primary Stress
Catalan Journal of Linguistics, 2019 Metrical theory recognizes differences between primary and non-primary stresses, sometimes within the same language. In serial theories, this has often led to a parametric approach in derivation: some languages are ‘top-down’, with the primary stress ...
