Abstract:
This review is not only for people interested in learnability
in OT, but for everybody who believes in OT's claim of factorial
typology, i.e. the prediction that all language types generated
by a permutation of the rankings of the constraints are
attestable human languages. Learnability considerations
are capable of shooting holes in that claim.
