On the nature of the input in optimality theory [PDF]
The Linguistic Review, 2002 The input has two main functions in optimality theory (Prince and Smolensky (1993)). First, the input defines the candidate set, in other words it determines which output candidates compete for optimality, and which do not. Second, the input is referred to by faithfulness constraints that prohibit output candidates from deviating from specifications in
