In the course of this work, we will see instances of both kinds of analysis, though we will focus predominantly on developing the parallel idea, finding strong support for it, as do =-=McCarthy & Prince 1993-=-. Definitive adjudication between parallel and serial conceptions, not to mention hybrids of various kinds, is a challenge of considerable subtlety, as indeed the debate over the necessity of serial M...

In this article we show how Optimality Theory yields a highly general Constraint Demotion principle for grammar learning. The resulting learning procedure specifically exploits the grammatical structure of Optimality Theory, independent of the content of substantive constraints defining any given grammatical module. We decompose the learning problem and present formal results for a central subproblem, deducing the constraint ranking particular to a target language, given structural descriptions of positive examples. The structure imposed on the space of possible grammars by Optimality Theory allows efficient convergence to a correct grammar. We discuss implications for learning from overt data only, as well as other learning issues. We argue that Optimality Theory promotes confluence of the demands of more effective learnability and deeper linguistic explanation.

Generalized Alignment

...edge. We will see that conditions on left and right edges can indeed have very different grammatical status: cf. §5 below. (Application of Alignment to prosodic-morphological templates is taken up in =-=McCarthy and Prince 1993-=-:§7). In conception, therefore, GA is most directly connected with the edge-based theory of the syntaxphonology interface (Chen 1987, Clements 1978:35, Hale and Selkirk 1987, Selkirk 1986, Selkirk and...

this paper is to develop an alternative proposal whereby long-distance agreement is brokered via a correspondence-theoretic relation established between the participant segments. We term this approach Long-Distance Agreement through Correspondence or LDAC. A chief assertion of the LDAC proposal is that agreement is determined by Identity constraints which check feature matching in corresponding consonants, thereby obviating representations in which feature linkage skips over spans of neutral segments. Another key claim is that similarity plays a decisive role in identifying which segments stand in correspondence

...s about multi-process interaction. In S-OT, the possibilities of multi-process opaque interaction are limited only by the number of strata or cycles. With at least three strata (as in Kiparsky 1998b, =-=McCarthy and Prince 1993-=-b), three-process Duke-of-York derivations are easily modeled. With greater depth (such as the five strata of Halle and Mohanan 1985), the possibilities are even richer. This, then, is a final area wh...
