This paper presents a Harmonic Serialism analysis of synchronic metathesis, and proposes
to eliminate transposition as an atomic operation, instead analysing metathesis as a result of …

This paper proposes an account of an opaque generalization (Canadian Raising; Chambers
1973) in terms of indexed constraints in OT (Pater 2000, 2010). This approach formalizes the …

The phonology-phonetics interface is broadly concerned with the question of how abstract
knowledge of a language's sound system influences and is influenced by the physical …

This article has two goals: descriptive and theoretical. On the descriptive side, the article
presents a grammar of gliding and epenthesis of Upper Sorbian. The descriptive goal is …

In this paper, vowel epenthesis in Urban Hijazi Arabic is analysed as a process of gradual
structural build-up. Harmonic Serialism, a derivational framework of Optimality Theory …

McCarthy (2013) asks whether there are phonological systems necessitating irreducible
parallelism in grammar—systems requiring that multiple changes to the input apply in …

Harmonic Serialism (HS) is a constraint based theory of phonology that has gained interest
in the last ten years. As a theory of phonology, HS must be able to account for …

This dissertation tests sequence-to-sequence neural networks to see whether they can
simulate human phonological learning and generalization in a number of artificial language …

This article introduces basic principles of a generative theory of phonology that unifies
aspects of parallel constraint-based theories and serial rule-based theories. In the core of …
