Meeting Description: 

Experimental Approaches to Optimality Theory

Invited speakers: René Kager (Utrecht) and Joe Pater (UMass)

Over the past few decades, experimental data have been used increasingly as
evidence in phonological theorizing. This is no less true of Optimality Theory
(OT) as is evidenced by the growing body of OT literature that uses experimental
data. The purpose of this workshop is twofold. On the one hand, we want to
investigate the extent to which experimental data can be used to fine-tune OT
analyses. On the other hand, we want to consider the challenges that
non-categorical experimental data may pose to OT.
