This volume presents a series of original papers focusing on the
theme of phonological argumentation, set within the framework of
Optimality Theory. It contains two major sections: chapters about
the evidence for and methodology used in discovering the bases of
phonological theory, i.e., how constraints are formed and what sort
of evidence is relevant in positing them; and case studies that
focus on particular theoretical issues within OT, usually through
selected phenomena in one or more languages, arguing in favor of or
against specific formal analyses. A noteworthy detail of this book
is that all of the contributors are connected with the program in
phonology and phonetics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst,
either as current professors or former graduate students.
Consequently, all of them have been directly influenced by John
McCarthy, himself one of the major proponents of OT. This
collection will therefore be of interest to anyone who seriously
follows the field of OT. The intended readership is primarily
graduate students and those already holding an advanced degree in
linguistics, i.e., persons conversant with and capable of
interacting with the OT literature.
