Another Complex Phenomenon for Harmonic Serialism and Against Standard Parallel OT* [PDF]
application/pdfThis paper proposes a complete analysis of a morphophonological complex phenomenon—the interaction of apocope with compensation for the further absence of the wordfinal liquid—in the harmonic serialism of optimality theory and argues that ...

A feeding Duke-of-York interaction of tone and epenthesis in Arapaho
In the Algonquian language Arapaho, epenthetic vowels only show up if they can attract an underlying floating high tone. I argue that this co-dependency of tone and epenthesis should not be analysed as tone-triggered epenthesis (which has been claimed ...

The Nature of Gradualness for Changes in Place of Articulation Features of Vowels in Serial Optimality Theory: Evidence from Three Iranian Languages [PDF]
In the earliest version of Optimality Theory put forth by Prince and Smolensky (1993/2004), the Generator is allowed to apply more than one process on the input.

San’ani Arabic Stress in Harmonic Serialism
The word stress system in San’ani Arabic exhibits patterns of stress placement that associate some level of prominence with syllables with long vowels and syllables that end in the left-leg of a geminate. The fact that such syllables always succeed in attracting stress away from other non-final CVC syllables, even beyond the final trisyllabic

When the Local Minimum is not Enough: Incorporating Lexical Selection into Harmonic Serialism
This paper argues that Harmonic Serialism must include the lexical listing of allomorphs to fully account for certain cases of phonologically conditioned allomorphy.

Velar, Uvular and Pharyngeal Alternations in Hasawi Arabic: A Harmonic Serialism Optimality Theoretic Approach [PDF]
This thesis investigates three phonological phenomena in Hasawi Arabic (HA), a dialect spoken in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia. First, is the pharyngealisation, which is triggered by the pharyngealised coronal segments /tˤ, ðˤ, sˤ/. Second, is the

Deriving surface opacity from serial interactions: the case of Arabic epenthesis
Vowel epenthesis and stress patterns in Arabic dialects vary widely; understanding their interaction is crucial for phonological theory. This study investigates how different Arabic dialects handle medial CCC clusters and how stress assignment interacts ...

The Frictional effects in serial harmonic circuit
In the paper we make the friction effect in the serial sonic system were the sonic flow are influence by the friction. This effect makes the growing of the temperature in the sonic resistance, same the caloric effect of the alternative current. This paper is the base of departure for the future research about the caloric effects of the sonicity theory ...
