Finite-state Optimality Theory: non-rationality of Harmonic Serialism

open access: yesJournal of Language Modelling, 2019
This paper analyzes the language-theoretic complexity of Harmonic Serialism (HS), a derivational variant of Optimality Theory. I show that HS can generate non-rational relations using strictly local markedness constraints, proving the “result” of Hao ...

Abnormality in the Theory of Necessary Optimality Conditions

open access: yesИзвестия Иркутского государственного университета: Серия "Математика", 2017
The problems of existence, non-uniqueness, abnormality of solutions arising from the using of necessary optimality conditions are discussed in terms of the extension principle and sufficient optimality conditions. Simple examples are used.

Relações de identidade em modelos paralelistas: morfologia e fonologia Identity relations in paralelistic models: morphology and phonology

open access: yesDELTA: Documentação de Estudos em Lingüística Teórica e Aplicada, 2005
Neste artigo, confronto três abordagens paralelistas sobre o papel das restrições de fidelidade na gramática universal: (a) a otimalidade clássica (Prince & Smolensky, 1993), (b) a teoria da correspondência (McCarthy & Prince, 1995) e (c) a simpatia ...

Determining underlying presence in the learning of grammars that allow insertion and deletion

open access: yesGlossa, 2019
The simultaneous learning of a phonological map from inputs to outputs and a lexicon of phonological underlying forms has been a focus of several research efforts (Jarosz 2006; Apoussidou 2007; Merchant 2008; Merchant & Tesar 2008; Tesar 2014).

A syntactic-semantic optimality theoretic model on Hakka topic-comment construction

open access: yesStudies in English Language and Education, 2021
The purpose of this paper is to show how the basic Topic-Comment ordering pattern of the Hakka can be accounted for by the constraint-based optimality theory.

On the Development of Optimization Theory [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Mathematical Monthly, 1980
Abstract : The method of Lagrange for finding extrema of functions subject to equality constraints was published in 1788 in the famous book Mecanique Analytique. The works of Karush, John, Kuhn and Tucker concerning optimization subject to inequality constraints appeared more than 150 years after that.

Early Impact of Childhood Opportunity on Neurocognitive Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurocognitive impairment is a well‐recognized complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that begins early in childhood and persists across development. While cerebrovascular injury contributes substantially to risk, neurocognitive deficits are also observed in children without overt or silent cerebral infarctions, suggesting ...
