English stress preservation and Stratal Optimality Theory [PDF]
, 2007 Since Chomsky & Halle (1968), English stress preservation has been important in generative discussions of morphophonological interaction. This thesis carries out empirical investigations into English stress preservation, and uses their results to argue ...

On the Development of Optimization Theory [PDF]
The 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.

Determining underlying presence in the learning of grammars that allow insertion and deletion
Glossa, 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).

Prosodic domains and ambisyllabicity in optimality theory [PDF]
, 1997 Selkirk 1984, 1986, Nespor & Vogel 1986 and others independently argue that PrWd structure is built from morphological structure. In Optimality Theory, Generalized Alignment (McCarthy & Prince 1993b) has been successful in encoding the close relationship

Non-computable functions in Optimality Theory [PDF]
, 1999 Is Optimality Theory a constraining theory? A formal analysis shows that it is, if two auxiliary assumptions are made: (1) that only markedness and faithfulness constraints are allowed, and (2) that input and output representations are made from the same

Features in Optimality Theory: A Computational Model [PDF]
, 1999 This dissertation presents a computational model of Optimality Theory (OT) (Prince and Smolensky 1993). The model provides an efficient solution to the problem of candidate generation and evaluation, and is demonstrated for the realm of phonological ...
