Abstract:
This article extends the applicability of local conjunction
of markedness and faithfulness (Ito & Mester 2002, Lubowicz
2002) beyond derived environment effects. It is shown that
local conjunction of markedness and anti-faithfulness (Alderete
2001) can also account for chain shift mappings. In addition,
it is argued that local conjunction can distinguish between
different sources for a given markedness violation. A comparison
with comparative markedness (McCarthy 2003) is provided.
