Abstract:
OTKit is a software package containing tools for Optimality
Theory. It includes a user interface and a Java library.
The user of the interface can define a number of elements
(forms, candidates, Gen functions, constraints, hierarchies,...)
and run experiments with them, such as calculating the grammatica
l forms or draw tableaux. The Java package offers corresponding
classes to Java programmers.


Version 1.0 of OTKit is still in an experimental phase.
The user interface offers only tools for modeling linguistic
competence, while the Java library already contains certain
tools for research on performance and learning, as well.
The user interface also includes a script language (still
under development), and an XML format to save elements.


Attached are the executable Java jar file (version 1.00.0),
a jar file containing the library (for programmers) and
the manual (in html format).


The website of OTKit, where updates, news and more information
are available is http://www.birot.hu/OTKit/.
