Subject:Arabic and Optimality Theory Query

Greetings Everyone:

I am currently writing a paper about Optimality Theory and its role in
Arabic inflectional morphology, particularly case endings.  I am well
aware of studies dealing with various phonological aspects of Arabic and
the Arabic dialects, and I have even read several studies concerning
Optimality Theory and its role in prosodic templates.  However, I have
been unable to locate any studies treating Optimality Theory and its
role in Arabic inflectional morphology.  I would be very grateful if
anyone could point me to such studies.  I would be happy to post the
results if everyone so wishes.

Thanks again, and I hope you have a wonderful, fruitful day!!

Carmen,
Georgetown University
