| Abstract: | The free ride strategy (McCarthy 2005) is challenged when the input-output mapping(s) derived from morphophonemic dynamic alternations and which are potentially generalized to non-alternating items are not univocal, that is, when the alternating [B]s derive from more than one underlying representation. When restrictiveness (M >> F) leads to a non-consummated free ride and it is no longer exploitable, efficiency (F >> F, etc.) (Bermúdez-Otero 2003, 2006) comes into play to consummate, conclusively, the free ride. |
