The Interaction of Yer Deletion and Nasal Assimilation in Optimality Theory1 [PDF]
, 2015 The problem of opacity presents a challenge for generative phonology. This paper examines the process of Nasal Assimilation in Polish rendered opaque by the process of Vowel Deletion in Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolensky, 1993), which currently is a ...

Optimality Theory and Hierarchy Construction
Journal of Portuguese Linguistics, 2003 Arising from the application of Optimality Theory (OT) to issues of language acquisition, the term "stratum" may represent (i) a single constraint, and therefore the strict ranking proposed by standard OT, as shown especially in research using data of ...

Necessary Optimality Conditions for Higher-Order Infinite Horizon Variational Problems on Time Scales [PDF]
, 2012 We obtain Euler-Lagrange and transversality optimality conditions for higher-order infinite horizon variational problems on a time scale. The new necessary optimality conditions improve the classical results both in the continuous and discrete settings ...
