Title:Prosodic Morphology: Constraint Interaction and Satisfaction
Authors:John J. McCarthy, Alan Prince
Comment:
Length:196
Abstract:This document was originally circulated in April 1993 and has been
available as Technical Report #3 of the Rutgers University Center
for Cognitive Science. The current version is essentially identical
to RuCCS-TR-3, with a few minor corrections and with the addition of
a preface and bibliography situating it in relation to more recent
developments. The most significant themes of this work include
correspondence theory, reduplication, alignment, stratal OT, and
the theory of templates.
