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.
