| Abstract: | Constraints, Exceptions and Representations ROA-76 conexrep.ps (9pp.) conexrep-ps.zip, conexrep-ps.Z T. Mark Ellison marke@softy.inesc.pt INESC, Lisbon This paper shows that default-based phonologies have the potential to capture morphophonological generalisations which cannot be captured by non-default theories. In achieving this result, I offer a characterisation of Underspecification Theory and Optimality Theory in terms of their methods for ordering defaults. The result means that machine learning techniques for building non-default analyses may not provide a suitable basis for morphophonological analysis.
