Underspecification Optimality Theory. 4 Autumn, 1995, pp. Little, if any, attention is paid to the issue
4 Autumn, 1995, pp. Little, if any, attention is paid to the issue of redundant features in current Underspecification in the underlying representation cannot give rise to marked structure on the surface, because Optimality Theory grammars force an output to be equally or less marked than the input. 2001. Final version of the widely circulated 1993 Technical Report that was the seminal work in Optimality Theory, never before available in book format. 26, No. First I outline some of the motivations for assuming underspecified representations.

Stricture and nasal place assimilation. Underspecification is argued to be compatible with Optimality Theory, as long as the underspecified input is not stipulated, but derived from the constraints and constraint ranking.

The arguments This article seeks to resolve one sort of underspecification paradox, by harnessing the notions of constraint ranking and violability provided by Optimality Theory (OT). 2. There can be little doubt that theories of underspecification, as developed over the last decade (whether radical', contrastive' or other), have brought a new depth of explanation to a number of areas of phonological analysis (for example, morpheme structure constraints, harmony systems Since there is no sequential phonological derivation in Optimality Theory, there is also no sense in which (parts of) the phonological derivation could be characterized by underspecification. The arguments against the The paper is structured as follows. Although the concept of underspecification has thus played a pivotal role, some analysts have noted the existence of problems and paradoxes threatening the conceptual and empirical basis of One of the main arguments for rejecting underspecification theories within OT is that it is an unnecessary complication of the theory, since the constraint system alone can account for apparent Keywords: Optimality Theory, licensing, underspecification, postnasal voicing, lexicon optimization,segment similarity 1 Introduction It is a common observation that redundant In underspecification-based approaches, all different occurrences of an exponent have the same status because the exponent does not treat any of the contexts in which it can occur differently from any With the advent of Optimality Theory, redundancy and underspecification have, once again, largely faded from view.
