| Title: | Implicational Universals in Stochastic Constraint-Based Phonology |
| Authors: | Giorgio Magri |
| Comment: | This paper will appear in the proceedings of EMNLP 2018. The results reported here are part of a larger joint project with Arto Anttila on T-orders in constraint-based phonology. A more extended report will be made available shortly. |
| Length: | 10 pages |
| Abstract: | This paper focuses on the most basic implicational universals in phonological theory, called T-orders after Anttila and Andrus (2006). It shows that the T-orders predicted by stochastic and categorical Optimality Theory coincide. Analogously, the T-orders predicted by stochastic and categorical Harmonic Grammar coincide. In other words, these stochastic constraint-based frameworks do not tamper with the typological structure induced by the corresponding categorical frameworks. |
