| Abstract: | Sharon Inkelas University of California, Berkeley Structural Immunity, in the form of prespecification of phonological or morphological material, has been proposed by Kiparsky (1993) and Inkelas & Orgun (1995), among others, for handling nonderived environment blocking. This paper develops an implementation of Structural Immunity within Optimality Theory and compares it favorably with other existing Optimality Theory approaches to nonderived environment blocking. The paper was presented at the Lexicon in Focus Workshop in Düsseldorf in 1998 and will appear in the proceedings of that workshop. |
