  • - Phonological Opacity in Optimality Theory
    by John J. McCarthy
    £27.49 - 78.99

    Opacity arises when the conditions for or results of an active phonological process are not evident in the speech signal. It is particularly important in Optimality Theory. This monograph is devoted to the problem of phonological opacity. It evaluates representational approaches to opacity that emerged in the 1980's.

    £86.49

    Presents a collection of papers in phonology and syntax on the topic of ineffability, or absolute ungrammaticality. These papers contribute analyses of carefully presented cases. The theoretical context for the papers is the analytical challenge which these cases present for Optimality Theory.

    £37.99

    Presents a series of original papers focusing on the theme of phonological argumentation, set within the framework of Optimality Theory. This volume contains two sections: chapters about the evidence for and methodology used in discovering the bases of phonological theory; and case studies that focus on particular theoretical issues within OT.

  • by Eric Bakovic
    £60.99

    The principle commonly held to be responsible for disjunctive application, the Elsewhere Condition (Kiparsky 1973), is argued in this book to be little more than a collection of necessary stipulations within Chomsky & Halle's original SPE framework.

  • by Henriette de Swart, Petra Hendriks, Helen de Hoop, et al.
    £27.99

    Conflicts in Interpretation applies novel methods of constraint interaction, derived from connectionist theories and implemented in linguistics within the framework of Optimality Theory, to core semantic and pragmatic issues such as polysemy, negation, (in)definiteness, focus, anaphora, and rhetorical structure.

  • by Anna Lubowicz
    £65.49

    Argues that contrast is one of the central organizing principles of the grammar and provides a formal theory of contrast couched in the framework of Optimality Theory. This monograph contributes to the debate on where contrast fits in the grammar.

  • - Metrical Stress in Optimality Theory
    by Brett Hyde
    £65.49

    Layering and Directionality is unique in the OT literature in that it examines both the formulation of constraints that produce directional parsing effects and it also addresses assumptions concerning prosodic and metrical structure.
