Informationen zum Autor Bruce Tesar is Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. Klappentext This book presents the theory of output-driven maps and provides fresh perspectives in an accessible way for students and researchers. Advance praise: 'Output-Driven Phonology: Theory and Learning opens a new perspective on phonological systems: how such systems are formally organized, and immediately related to this, how they are acquired. Bruce Tesar has taken a major step towards solving the classical problem of simultaneously learning a grammar and a lexicon.' Rene Kager, Utrecht University Zusammenfassung In this book Bruce Tesar! one of the founders of the study of learnability in Optimality Theory! presents the theory of output-driven maps and provides a fresh perspective on the extent to which phonologies can be characterized in terms of restrictions on outputs.
