Introducing Optimality Theory

Annual Review of Anthropology, 1999
▪ Abstract  Optimality theory was introduced in the early 1990s as an alternative model of the organization of natural human language sound systems. This article provides an introduction to the model for the nonlinguist. The basic principles of optimality theory are introduced and explained (GEN, CON, and EVAL).

Typology in Optimality Theory

Language and Linguistics Compass, 2007
Abstract The mechanism of constraint re‐ranking basis makes Optimality Theory (OT) a typologically oriented theory of phonology. Permuting the prioritization of constraints on a language‐specific basis generates a factorial typology of phonological patterns.

Theory of Optimal Gammas

Nature, 1960
Ross1 asks for a definition of the goodness of a game. A reasonable answer, though presumably incomplete, is that a game is good in so far as it involves skill. A measure, γ, for the degree to which a game is one of skill may also be of legalistic interest in those countries where gambling is somewhat against the law.

THE THEORY OF OPTIMAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1986
Abstract This paper aims at determining the optimal time consistent announcement by using a new equilibrium concept in game theory: the Closed Loop Stackelberg (or Stackelberg Trigger Strategy) equilibrium. It is shown that, under suitable conditions, the optimal announcement is effective, credible and time-consistent, i.e.

Theory of Optimal Games

Nature, 1960
THEORY of games, and also theory of fair games, are well-known subjects, but a theory of good (or optimal) games does not seem to exist.

Optimality Theory and Morphology

Language and Linguistics Compass, 2011
Abstract This article introduces Realization Optimality Theory, a novel and promising morphological framework which adopts the formalism of Optimality Theory and encodes the morphological realization rules of, for example, as ranked violable constraints.

Applications of optimization theory

1984
We now discuss in more detail a number of problems concerned with the optimization of propulsion devices. These problems are such that they can be treated with the theory of the previous chapter. Our considerations are directed towards the determination of the shed free vorticity of the optimum propellers from which follows the span-wise distribution ...

The Odds of Eternal Optimization in Optimality Theory

2003
The first part of this paper shows that a non-teleological account of sound change is possible if we assume two things: first, that Optimality-Theoretic constraints that do not contribute to determining the winning candidate are ranked randomly with respect to each other, i.e.
