Contents:
I-IV -- Contents -- Constraints and Preferences: Introduction -- Parameters and scales in syllable markedness: the right edge of the word in Malayalam -- Constraints and processes in phonological perception -- Phonotactic constraints are preferences -- Striving for optimality: output-oriented models of language change -- Preferences as defaults in computational phonology -- Devoicing and voicing assimilation in German, English, and Dutch: a case of constraint interaction -- Hidden identity, or the double life of segments -- Working with licensing constraints -- Rules vs. constraints in modeling phonological change: the case of Raddoppiamento Fonosintattico -- Are optimality theoretical "constraints" the same as natural linguistic "preferences"? -- Abstractness in phonology: the case of virtual geminates -- Constraints, preferences, and context-sensitivity in morphology -- Old English fricatives: lenition and licensing -- Index -- 403-404
Summary: The central theme of this collection is the epistemological status of constraints and preferences in linguistics. The contributions focus mainly on phonology; one article deals explicitly with morphology. The approaches to phonology represented in the volume are those of Natural Phonology, Government Phonology, Optimality Theory, autosegemental phonology, and computational phonology. Constraints are juxtaposed either to rules or to preferences in the discussion of constraint-based vs. preference-based theories.
