Autosegmental spreading in Optimality Theory

John J. McCarthy, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Abstract

Revised December 2009

This paper is a shorter (and probably better) version of "Harmony in Harmonic Serialism." Like its big brother, it argues that Harmonic Serialism answers the conundrum of how iterative autosegmental spreading is obtained in Optimality Theory.
