Optimality Theory

4 Abschnitte1 Karteikarten-Decks1 Quizze

An examination of Optimality Theory (OT), the constraint-based framework that replaced ordered phonological rules with a system of violable, ranked universal constraints. Covers the architecture of GEN, CON, and EVAL, the markedness–faithfulness distinction, tableau evaluation, typological predictions, and the theory's implications for learnability and phonological universals.
