| Abstract: | Elsewhere & Otherwise Alan Prince Rutgers University These remarks address issues raised by Morris Halle in a letter to Glot International. My aim is to situate the discussion in the context of the theoretical competition between rule-package serialism (the view that grammatical generalizations are packaged into re-write rules which are serially ordered) and more recent approaches which factor generalizations into interacting constraints. Although various wide-of-the-mark objurgations are dismissed in the course of this note, it proves to be at least as interesting to pursue the logic of Halle's own position -- in particular some of the rather unexamined complications involved in imposing an 'Elsewhere Condition' on rule-package serialism. This expands and reformats Glot International 2.6: 1,23-24. |
