Description: Doing Optimality Theory : Applying Theory to Data, Paperback by McCarthy, John J., ISBN 1405151366, ISBN-13 9781405151368, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Optimality theory is a linguistic model largely associated with phonology, though not without other application, that holds that observed forms of language arise from the interaction between conflicting constraints. In this volume, McCarthy (linguistics, U. of Massachusetts), one of the major developers of optimality theory, explains its application. He reviews the core concepts; explains how to construct, justify, and test an analysis; provides a model for writing up optimality theory analyses; describes how to posit new constraints or modify old ones and how to modify typological predictions in accord with such changes; and reviews areas of recent research.
