Abstract:

This book presents the theory of output-driven maps and provides a fresh
perspective on the extent to which phonologies can be characterized in terms
of restrictions on outputs. Closely related to traditional conceptions of
process opacity, but differing in notable ways, the theory of output-driven
maps applies equally to SPE-style ordered rules, Optimality Theory, and other
phonological theories. It permits a formally rigorous analysis of the issues
in Optimality Theory that is not possible with traditional process opacity.
Also presented is a theory of phonological learning. Building on prior work on
learning in Optimality Theory, the learning theory exploits the formal
structure of output-driven maps to achieve learning that is far more
computationally efficient than comparable prior approaches. In this book Bruce
Tesar, one of the founders of the study of learnability in Optimality Theory,
presents fresh perspectives in an accessible way for graduate students and
academic researchers.
