Overt forms and the control of comprehension

Abstract:
This paper shows that the commonly held serial view of the
incorporation of overt forms in the grammar (e.g. Hayes
1996 for phonology, and Legendre, Smolensky & Wilson 1998
for syntax) is inconsistent with the even more commonly
held view that if two distinct underlying forms are pronounced
identically, at least one of them must violate faithfulness.
By contrast, perceptual control grammars (Boersma 1998 for
phonology, and Jäger 2002 for syntax) turn out to be consistent
with this view of faithfulness.
