More specifically, it is claimed that representations created by a simplified version of the computational system of human language CHL are evaluated in an optimality theoretic fashion by taking recourse to a very small set of output constraints UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110207200 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110207200 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110207200/original ER -
