, 2012 This dissertation proposes a model of word stress in a derivational version of Optimality Theory (OT) called Harmonic Serialism (HS; Prince and Smolensky 1993/2004, McCarthy 2000, 2006, 2010a). In this model, the metrical structure of a word is derived through a series of optimizations in which the 'best' metrical foot is chosen according to a ranking ...

Shifting Interactions and Countershifting Opacity: A Note on Opacity in Harmonic Serialism
Linguistic Inquiry, 2022This squib proposes to extend the traditional taxonomy of pairwise process interactions (which contains “feeding,” “bleeding,” “counterfeeding,” and “counterbleeding”) to include the classes “shifting” and “countershifting.” A process “shifts” another if it does not feed or bleed it but rather causes it to apply in a different way. “Countershifting” is

A Lookahead Effect in Mbe Reduplication: Implications for Harmonic Serialism
Linguistic Inquiry, 2020Various phenomena involving the interaction of reduplication and phonology have been brought to bear on evaluating parallel versus serial theories of phonology. In Base-Reduplicant (BR) Correspondence Theory ( McCarthy and Prince 1995 ), implemented in the classic parallel version of Optimality Theory (P-OT; Prince and Smolensky 1993/2004 ), the ...

Complex weight distinctions in Harmonic Serialism
Linguistic ReviewAbstract A number of the quantity-sensitive stress systems which are characterised by complex weight distinctions have often proven challenging for parallel constraint-based metrical frameworks. A number of parallel-OT accounts are proposed to explain stress systems with multi-level weight hierarchies, in which syllables with long vowels

Positional Faithfulness, Non-locality, and the Harmonic Serialism Solution
, 2011 Pathologies arise in parallel OT when a positional faithfulness constraint and a conflicting markedness constraint dominate the constraints responsible for determining which segments, if any, occupy the privileged position. Under such rankings, an underlying featural contrast can be displaced onto the output prosodic structure. (The possibility of such

Phonology-morphology opacity in Harmonic Serialism
, 2014 In this paper I defend the idea that prosodification in Harmonic Serialism is built in harmonically improving steps and propose that prosodic constituents higher than the syllable create opaque domains for syllable-building operations. Those assumptions prevent core syllabification to operate with adjacent segments belonging to different morphs if one ...

Journal of Linguistics, 2022
Harmonic Serialism is a serial version of Optimality Theory in which Gen is restricted to one operation at a time. What constitutes one operation has been a key question in the literature. This paper asks whether shift, in which a feature moves/flops from one segment to another, should be considered an operation. We review three pieces of evidence that

Directional Constraint Evaluation Solves the Problem of Ties in Harmonic Serialism [PDF]
Linguistic Inquiry, 2022 This squib examines the problem of tied candidates in Harmonic Serialism and presents directional constraint evaluation as a solution. Under standard evaluation, constraints report how many loci of violation a candidate contains and, as a result, cannot ...

No transposition in Harmonic Serialism
Phonology, 2019This paper presents a Harmonic Serialism analysis of synchronic metathesis, and proposes to eliminate transposition as an atomic operation, instead analysing metathesis as a result of the sequential application of simpler operations. The analysis of phase alternations in Rotuman offers a unified account of metathesis, deletion and umlaut as all ...
