Abstract:
This paper (together with its five supplements) presents
an Optimality-Theoretic grammar model that is intended to
be capable of handling 'all' of phonology: its representations
with their relations, its processes with their relations,
its acquisition by the child, its evolution over the generations,
and its typology across languages. The goal of the model
is to achieve explanatory adequacy by doing 'whole-language
simulations' of the acquisition and evolution of a language.
