     STATE-OF-THE-ARTICLE
     Gereon Mueller on
     "Optionality in Optimality-Theoretic syntax"

     "Optimality theory ... recognizes the notion of competition in
     candidate sets as the fundamental concept of grammar. It is therefore
     not surprising that optionality is inherently difficult to account for
     in optimality- theoretic syntax."

     COLUMN
     Neil Smith on
     "The structure of noise"

     "The parallelism is not quite exact because the human brain is better
     constructed to withstand insult in the auditory domain than in the
     visual or linguistic domains."
