Strictly local phonological processes Open
This dissertation identifies a strong computational property of phonological and morphological processes with local triggers. It is shown that the input-output mapping that underlies these processes can be modeled with Strictly Local (SL) …

Decision trees, entropy, and the contrastive feature hierarchy Open
Dresher (2009) argues that language-particular hierarchies of features are the best way to identify contrastive features in a phonological inventory. While not universal, this ordering of features is also not fully unconstrained. But what …

Rational functions via recursive schemes Open
We give a new characterization of the class of rational string functions from formal language theory using order-preserving interpretations with respect to a very weak monadic programming language. This refines the known characterization o…

Long-distance phonological processes as tier-based strictly local functions Open
Whether we analyze phonological processes using a system of rules or constraints, the resulting map from underlying representations to surface pronunciations can be characterized as a function. Viewing processes as mathematical objects in …

Input and output locality and representation Open
Using a rigorous, computational notion of locality, this paper evaluates one of the central motivations for autosegmental representations (ARs)—that they reduce long-distance processes to local ones. We analyze a variety of tone processes …

A Computational Account of Tone Sandhi Interaction Open
This paper presents a computational account of three tone sandhi rules in Tianjin Chinese that have received a lot of attention in the literature due to the seemingly complex way in which they interact. Two of the rules apply right-to-left…

Autosegmental Input Strictly Local Functions Open
Autosegmental representations (ARs; Goldsmith, 1976 ) are claimed to enable local analyses of otherwise non-local phenomena Odden ( 1994 ). Focusing on the domain of tone, we investigate this ability of ARs using a computationally well-def…

Quantifier-free least fixed point functions for phonology Open
In this paper we define quantifier-free least fixed point functions (QFLFP) and argue that they are an appropriate and valuable approach to modeling phonological processes (construed as input-output maps).These functions, characterized in …

Learning with Partially Ordered Representations Open
This paper examines the characterization and learning of grammars defined with enriched representational models. Model-theoretic approaches to formal language theory traditionally assume that each position in a string belongs to exactly on…
