Example text

There is an important difference in status between the two Ons-related implications. To prove that something is optional, in the sense of ‘not forbidden’ or ‘not required’ in the inventory, one need merely exhibit one case in which it is observed and one in which it isn’t. To prove that something is required, one must show that everything in the universe observes it. Thus, formal proof of (135) requires considering not just one trial input, as we have done, but the whole (infinite) class of strings on {C,V}* which we are taking to define the universal set of possible inputs for the Basic Theory.

In order to characterize harmonic comparison of candidate parses with full generality and clarity, we need to specify two things: first, a means of comparing entire candidates on the basis of a single constraint; then, a means of combining the evaluation of these constraints. The result is a general definition of Harmonic Ordering Optimality Theory 17 of Forms; this is, in its formal essence, our theory of constraint interaction in generative grammar. It is the main topic of §5. ] 5 The Construction of Grammar in Optimality Theory Phonological theory contains two parts: a theory of substantive universals of phonological well-formedness and a theory of formal universals of constraint interaction.

Zbt. zbt. For the case of [Ons ] Hnuc], the definition should now be clear: (104) Harmonic Ordering of Forms – Entire Parses by [Ons ] Hnuc] A ՝[Ons ] Hnuc] B iff either (i) A ՝Ons B or (ii) A ≈Ons B and A ՝Hnuc B For a general constraint hierarchy, we have the following recursive definition: (105) Harmonic Ordering of Forms – Entire Parse, Entire Constraint Hierarchy A ՝[C1 ] C2 ] . . ] B iff either (i) A ՝C1 B or (ii) A ≈C1 B and A ՝[C2 ] . . ] B All the orderings in (104) and (105) are of complete parses, and we have therefore omitted the superscript parse.
