Regular Relation (of strings) Regular Relation (of strings) Directional Constraint Evaluation in OT Synopsis: Fixing OT’s Power Consensus: Phonology = regular relation  E.g., composition of little local adjustments (= FSTs) Problem: Even finite-state OT is worse than that Global “counting” (Frank Satta 1998) Problem: Phonologists want to add even more Try to capture iterativity by Gen. Alignment constraints Solution: In OT, replace counting by iterativity Each constraint does an iterative optimization Outline Review of Optimality Theory The new “directional constraints” idea Linguisticall
