Abstract:
This paper offers a way to include the benefits of Stratal
Optimality Theory (Kiparsky, forthcoming) while maintaining
parallel, non-serial evaluation. Through limited, principled
definitions of correspondence relations, I derive effects
identical to those of the serially-evaluated Stratal OT.

This is an initial draft, and comments are of course desired.
