"Rendaku I: Constraint Conjunction and the OCP" is a handout of a
 lecture delivered at the Kobe Phonology Forum (September 1996,
 Kobe, Japan). Building on Smolensky 1995, it develops a
 constraint-conjunctive conception of so-called OCP-effects
 ("self-conjunction") and applies it to several cases of
 dissimilation, including Grassmann's Law (on voiced aspirates in
 Sanskrit), Lex Mamilla-type cases involving prosodic instead of
 featural dissimilation, and Lyman's Law (on voiced obstruents in
 Modern and Old Japanese), including its interaction with
 Sequential Voicing.

The sequel--"Rendaku II: Domain Hierarchies and Economy"--deals
 with the consequences of Economy of Structure for the morphology
 and phonology of compounds. A revised form of this lecture will
 be presented at WECOL 1996 (UC Santa Cruz, October 25, 1996).
