Opis

In this book Bruce Tesar, one of the founders of the study of learnability in Optimality Theory, presents the theory of output-driven maps and provides a fresh perspective on the extent to which phonologies can be characterized in terms of restrictions on outputs.

Recenzje

'Output-Driven Phonology: Theory and Learning opens a new perspective on phonological systems: how such systems are formally organized, and immediately related to this, how they are acquired. Bruce Tesar has taken a major step towards solving the classical problem of simultaneously learning a grammar and a lexicon.' René Kager, Utrecht University
