OT acquisition bibliography

[Joe Pater]

Dear all,
Here is the OT acquisition bibliography I promised, in text format in
the body of this message. I have mostly left the references as sent to
me
by the various contributors, so there are inconsistencies of formatting.

There are also likely errors and omissions; please send me corrections
and
I will update this toward the end of the summer.

Thanks to the following for contributing to this bibliography: Franck
Ramus, Claartje Levelt, Mits Ota, David Ingram, Diane Ohala, Katharine
Demuth, Heather Goad, LouAnn Gerken, Shelley L. Velleman, Stuart Davis,
Todd Bailey, Zenzi M. Griffin, John Alderete, Dicky Gilbers, Jason
Eisner (who also pointed to the computational phonology bibliography at
http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/sigphon/ as relevant), Haruka Fukuzawa,
Suzanne Curtin, Dan Dinnsen, Kathleen O'Connor, and Jessica Barlow.

I am impressed by the size and scope of the literature on OT acquisition

and learnability that is represented in the bibliography, but I can't
help but note that as far as I can tell, there is not a single paper on
the acquisition of syntax here. There was an interesting discussion on
this list a couple of years ago about why there is a dearth of
work on OT syntactic acquisition, but I would be surprised if no one has

done any by now.

Best,
Joe Pater
