The syllable has always been a key concept in generative
linguistics: the rules, representations, parameters, or constraints
posited in diverse frameworks of theoretical phonology and
morphology all make reference to this fundamental unit of prosodic
structure. No less central to the field is Optimality Theory, an
approach developed within (morpho-)phonology in the early 1990s.
This 2003 book combines two themes of central importance to
linguists and their mutual relevance in recent research. It
provides an overview of the role of the syllable in OT and ways in
which problems that relate to the analysis of syllable structure
can be solved in OT. The contributions to the book not only show
that the syllable sheds light on certain properties of OT itself,
they also demonstrate that OT is capable of describing and
adequately analyzing many issues that are problematic in other
theories. The analyses are based on a wealth of languages.
