OT’s goal has been to account for phonological generalizations within languages, and for differences among languages, using universal surface constraints that are prioritized on a language-specific basis, instead of using rules, derivations and intermediate representations, as in Chomsky and Halle (1968) (henceforth SPE).Read More
