Abstract:

This volume presents a series of original papers focusing on the theme of 
phonological argumentation, set within the framework of Optimality Theory. It 
contains two major sections: (1) chapters about the evidence for and 
methodology used in discovering the bases of phonological theory, i.e., how 
constraints are formed and what sort of evidence is relevant in positing them; 
and (2) case studies that focus on particular theoretical issues within OT, 
usually through selected phenomena in one or more languages, arguing in 
favor of or against specific formal analyses.

A noteworthy detail of this book is that all of the contributors are connected 
with the program in phonology and phonetics at the University of 
Massachusetts Amherst, either as current professors or former graduate 
students. Consequently, all of them have been directly influenced by John 
McCarthy, himself one of the major proponents of OT. This collection will 
therefore be of interest to anyone who seriously follows the field of OT. The 
intended readership is primarily graduate students and those already holding 
an advanced degree in linguistics, i.e., persons conversant with and capable 
of interacting with the OT literature.
