then we got to

accent and Japanese compounds so here
align:start position:0%
accent and Japanese compounds so here
align:start position:0%
accent and Japanese compounds so here
are a bunch of compound nouns uh in
align:start position:0%
are a bunch of compound nouns uh in

are a bunch of compound nouns uh in
Japanese and the observation was that
align:start position:0%
Japanese and the observation was that

Japanese and the observation was that
when you have two compound consisting of
align:start position:0%
when you have two compound consisting of
align:start position:0%
when you have two compound consisting of
two parts uh you the result always has
align:start position:0%
two parts uh you the result always has

two parts uh you the result always has
one accent it has Accent on one

um the accented syllable doesn't have to
align:start position:0%
um the accented syllable doesn't have to

um the accented syllable doesn't have to
be the accented syllable in either of
align:start position:0%

be the accented syllable in either of
the original you know parts of the
align:start position:0%
the original you know parts of the
align:start position:0%
the original you know parts of the
compounds so like raw egg which is the
align:start position:0%
compounds so like raw egg which is the
align:start position:0%
compounds so like raw egg which is the
first example on this slide
align:start position:0%
first example on this slide
align:start position:0%
first example on this slide
raw and egg uh you know they have
align:start position:0%
raw and egg uh you know they have

raw and egg uh you know they have
accents where they have accents raw has
align:start position:0%
accents where they have accents raw has

an accent on the first syllable egg has
snacks in on the second syllable but raw
align:start position:0%

um what we said was you know there is a
align:start position:0%
um what we said was you know there is a
align:start position:0%
um what we said was you know there is a
set of rules for where accent goes in
align:start position:0%
set of rules for where accent goes in
align:start position:0%
set of rules for where accent goes in
these compounds
align:start position:0%
these compounds
align:start position:0%
these compounds
and the rules go something like this uh
align:start position:0%
and the rules go something like this uh
align:start position:0%
and the rules go something like this uh
there's only going to be one accent it
align:start position:0%
there's only going to be one accent it
align:start position:0%
there's only going to be one accent it
needs to be next to the boundary between
align:start position:0%
needs to be next to the boundary between
align:start position:0%
needs to be next to the boundary between
the words
align:start position:0%
the words
align:start position:0%
the words
um and if possible it should be on the
align:start position:0%
um and if possible it should be on the
align:start position:0%
um and if possible it should be on the
second word that is it should be after
align:start position:0%
second word that is it should be after
align:start position:0%
second word that is it should be after
the boundary between the words
align:start position:0%
the boundary between the words

the boundary between the words
but you don't do that if that would
align:start position:0%
but you don't do that if that would
align:start position:0%
but you don't do that if that would
result in the accident being on the last
align:start position:0%
result in the accident being on the last
align:start position:0%
result in the accident being on the last
syllable so the sort of General pattern

it's right before the boundary between
them not on the second half of the

educate you in what a cool and
complicated language Japanese is uh but
align:start position:0%
complicated language Japanese is uh but

complicated language Japanese is uh but
to show you that there are cases of cool
align:start position:0%
to show you that there are cases of cool
align:start position:0%
to show you that there are cases of cool
and complicated phenomena uh that can be
align:start position:0%
and complicated phenomena uh that can be

and complicated phenomena uh that can be
fruitfully thought of as a series of

to be on the second word right and next
align:start position:0%
to be on the second word right and next
align:start position:0%
to be on the second word right and next
to the boundary between the words but it
align:start position:0%
to the boundary between the words but it
align:start position:0%
to the boundary between the words but it
also wants it not to be final
align:start position:0%
also wants it not to be final
align:start position:0%
also wants it not to be final
and if it can't have all of those things
align:start position:0%
and if it can't have all of those things

and if it can't have all of those things
at once like in gagawa prefecture it has

being on the second word and Japanese
cares more about it not about it uh not
align:start position:0%
cares more about it not about it uh not

cares more about it not about it uh not
being final right so it retracts it from
align:start position:0%
being final right so it retracts it from
align:start position:0%
being final right so it retracts it from
the second word to the end of the first
align:start position:0%
the second word to the end of the first
align:start position:0%

and the laws act like these kinds of

laws so there's the first law uh and
then there's the second law and the rule
align:start position:0%
then there's the second law and the rule

second law unless it comes in conflict
with the first law then you disobey the

with the first law then you disobey the
second law and do the first law right
align:start position:0%
second law and do the first law right

um what the Tableau does is allow us to
think in a you know formal kind of way
align:start position:0%
think in a you know formal kind of way
align:start position:0%
think in a you know formal kind of way
about uh how you satisfy conditions that

about uh how you satisfy conditions that
are not compatible with each other and I
align:start position:0%
are not compatible with each other and I

are not compatible with each other and I
just realized I get to take this off I

just realized I get to take this off I
keep forgetting that

yeah
so that's what the tip low is meant to
align:start position:0%
so that's what the tip low is meant to
align:start position:0%
so that's what the tip low is meant to
represent are there questions about the
align:start position:0%
represent are there questions about the
align:start position:0%
represent are there questions about the
tableau
align:start position:0%
tableau
align:start position:0%
tableau
there's a standard way to represent the
align:start position:0%
there's a standard way to represent the
align:start position:0%
there's a standard way to represent the
fact that the winner is that next last
align:start position:0%
fact that the winner is that next last
align:start position:0%
fact that the winner is that next last
one there where the stress is on the
align:start position:0%
one there where the stress is on the
align:start position:0%
one there where the stress is on the
next last syllable the accent is on the
align:start position:0%
next last syllable the accent is on the
align:start position:0%
next last syllable the accent is on the
next last syllable which is to put a
align:start position:0%
next last syllable which is to put a
align:start position:0%
next last syllable which is to put a
pointing finger next to it like that
align:start position:0%
pointing finger next to it like that
align:start position:0%
pointing finger next to it like that
this is the one that wins
align:start position:0%
this is the one that wins
align:start position:0%
this is the one that wins
optimality Theory this approach to to
align:start position:0%
optimality Theory this approach to to
align:start position:0%
optimality Theory this approach to to
phonology is called optimality Theory
align:start position:0%
phonology is called optimality Theory
align:start position:0%
phonology is called optimality Theory
and uh
align:start position:0%
and uh
align:start position:0%
and uh
um I don't know I guess they just liked
align:start position:0%
um I don't know I guess they just liked
align:start position:0%
um I don't know I guess they just liked
the font that had the pointing finger in
align:start position:0%
the font that had the pointing finger in
align:start position:0%
the font that had the pointing finger in
it so they decided to use it
align:start position:0%
it so they decided to use it
align:start position:0%
it so they decided to use it
okay this is an approach yeah
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
Oh you mean why am I putting an accent
align:start position:0%
Oh you mean why am I putting an accent
align:start position:0%
Oh you mean why am I putting an accent
on Ken over there
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
yeah that's a very good point
align:start position:0%
yeah that's a very good point
align:start position:0%
yeah that's a very good point
um it is possible to pronounce Ken by
align:start position:0%
um it is possible to pronounce Ken by
align:start position:0%
um it is possible to pronounce Ken by
itself not as part of a compound so if
align:start position:0%
itself not as part of a compound so if
align:start position:0%
itself not as part of a compound so if
you want to talk about the prefecture
align:start position:0%
you want to talk about the prefecture
align:start position:0%
you want to talk about the prefecture
it's a word it means prefecture so it's
align:start position:0%
it's a word it means prefecture so it's
align:start position:0%
it's a word it means prefecture so it's
which is a sort of kind of like a state
align:start position:0%
which is a sort of kind of like a state
align:start position:0%
which is a sort of kind of like a state
it's an administrative subdivision of
align:start position:0%
it's an administrative subdivision of
align:start position:0%
it's an administrative subdivision of
Japan
align:start position:0%
Japan
align:start position:0%
Japan
um and it's possible to say that word by
align:start position:0%
um and it's possible to say that word by
align:start position:0%
um and it's possible to say that word by
itself
align:start position:0%
itself
align:start position:0%
itself
sorry
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
it's
align:start position:0%
it's
align:start position:0%
it's
um Ken is
align:start position:0%
um Ken is
align:start position:0%
um Ken is
unbounded I don't think I know what you
align:start position:0%
unbounded I don't think I know what you
align:start position:0%
unbounded I don't think I know what you
mean you could you oh it's not a bound
align:start position:0%
mean you could you oh it's not a bound
align:start position:0%
mean you could you oh it's not a bound
morpheme that's right it can be it can
align:start position:0%
morpheme that's right it can be it can
align:start position:0%
morpheme that's right it can be it can
be a free morphine yes yes that's right
align:start position:0%
be a free morphine yes yes that's right
align:start position:0%
be a free morphine yes yes that's right
so so uh you can say in Japanese you
align:start position:0%
so so uh you can say in Japanese you
align:start position:0%
so so uh you can say in Japanese you
know the the prefecture is large or
align:start position:0%
know the the prefecture is large or
align:start position:0%
know the the prefecture is large or
whatever uh and then you can show that
align:start position:0%
whatever uh and then you can show that
align:start position:0%
whatever uh and then you can show that
it's accented yeah
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
yeah good question there are other
align:start position:0%
yeah good question there are other
align:start position:0%
yeah good question there are other
questions people have about this
align:start position:0%
questions people have about this
align:start position:0%
questions people have about this
okay so this is just meant to illustrate
align:start position:0%
okay so this is just meant to illustrate

okay so this is just meant to illustrate
um the workings of optimality theory

the best candidate the laws aren't doing
conflict with each other so you can put

conflict with each other so you can put
accent at the beginning of the last word
align:start position:0%
accent at the beginning of the last word

accent at the beginning of the last word
and potato and it won't be final yeah
align:start position:0%

um then yes the third would win that's
align:start position:0%
um then yes the third would win that's
align:start position:0%
um then yes the third would win that's
right and uh actually we can kind of see
align:start position:0%
right and uh actually we can kind of see
align:start position:0%
right and uh actually we can kind of see
that by looking at the behavior of
align:start position:0%
that by looking at the behavior of
align:start position:0%
that by looking at the behavior of
kagawaken so if we eliminate
align:start position:0%
kagawaken so if we eliminate
align:start position:0%
kagawaken so if we eliminate
the option of putting Accent on the last
align:start position:0%
the option of putting Accent on the last

the option of putting Accent on the last
word that's where the accent goes It
align:start position:0%
word that's where the accent goes It
align:start position:0%
word that's where the accent goes It
goes at the end of the first word
align:start position:0%
goes at the end of the first word
align:start position:0%
goes at the end of the first word
and so it's the best you can do right uh
align:start position:0%
and so it's the best you can do right uh
align:start position:0%
and so it's the best you can do right uh
still near the boundary still only one

Japanese doesn't work that way yeah so

about when I was showing you some stuff
about yellow money and now we've seen

you know you could State rules governing

you know you could State rules governing

you know you could State rules governing
the various things and maybe in a sense
align:start position:0%
the various things and maybe in a sense

the various things and maybe in a sense
you should uh but you sort of the idea
align:start position:0%
you should uh but you sort of the idea
align:start position:0%
you should uh but you sort of the idea
is let's try to keep sight of the fact
align:start position:0%
is let's try to keep sight of the fact
align:start position:0%
is let's try to keep sight of the fact
that all of these rules are trying to
align:start position:0%
that all of these rules are trying to
align:start position:0%
that all of these rules are trying to
achieve the same thing that's we want to
align:start position:0%
achieve the same thing that's we want to
align:start position:0%
achieve the same thing that's we want to
also capture that kind of a fact and
align:start position:0%
also capture that kind of a fact and
align:start position:0%
also capture that kind of a fact and
there's something similar going on here
align:start position:0%
there's something similar going on here
align:start position:0%
there's something similar going on here
in Japanese uh one of the rules the
align:start position:0%
in Japanese uh one of the rules the
align:start position:0%
in Japanese uh one of the rules the
highest ranking rule uh was uh don't
align:start position:0%
highest ranking rule uh was uh don't
align:start position:0%
highest ranking rule uh was uh don't
have more than one accent in word yeah
align:start position:0%
have more than one accent in word yeah
align:start position:0%
have more than one accent in word yeah
and what we saw last time was that there
align:start position:0%
and what we saw last time was that there
align:start position:0%
and what we saw last time was that there
are various things that Japanese does to
align:start position:0%
are various things that Japanese does to
align:start position:0%
are various things that Japanese does to
achieve this depending on the situation
align:start position:0%
achieve this depending on the situation
align:start position:0%
achieve this depending on the situation
so there are
align:start position:0%
so there are
align:start position:0%
so there are
words uh uh like gurai which I think I
align:start position:0%
words uh uh like gurai which I think I
align:start position:0%
words uh uh like gurai which I think I
translated last time is even which are
align:start position:0%
translated last time is even which are
align:start position:0%
translated last time is even which are
accented and if you attach them to
align:start position:0%
accented and if you attach them to
align:start position:0%
accented and if you attach them to
another word that's also accented you
align:start position:0%
another word that's also accented you
align:start position:0%
another word that's also accented you
delete the accent on the first word on
align:start position:0%
delete the accent on the first word on
align:start position:0%
delete the accent on the first word on
the word you're attaching good eye to
align:start position:0%
the word you're attaching good eye to
align:start position:0%
the word you're attaching good eye to
and there are other words like made
align:start position:0%
and there are other words like made
align:start position:0%
and there are other words like made
which means to up to as far as uh which
align:start position:0%
which means to up to as far as uh which
align:start position:0%
which means to up to as far as uh which
are accented but only if they are
align:start position:0%
are accented but only if they are
align:start position:0%
are accented but only if they are
attached to unaccented words
align:start position:0%
attached to unaccented words
align:start position:0%
attached to unaccented words
and then we've done all this talking
align:start position:0%
and then we've done all this talking

and then we've done all this talking
about compounds uh these are all
align:start position:0%
about compounds uh these are all

um so uh
I've been saying we could just State

B and D and G and Z we convinced

B and D and G and Z we convinced

B and D and G and Z we convinced
ourselves that they devoice they become

ourselves that they devoice they become
voiceless at the ends of words that

allows us to capture various kinds of

when they become plural namely but words

when they're no longer at the end of

now so right this is all kind of

now so right this is all kind of
familiar you all remember polish yeah

it's not just polish there are lots of

uh and so what I'm inviting you to do at

uh and so what I'm inviting you to do at
the end of this slide is to imagine two

the end of this slide is to imagine two
kinds of stories about polish one that

kinds of stories about polish one that
would say yeah final consonants the
align:start position:0%
would say yeah final consonants the

would say yeah final consonants the
voice in Polish and another that would
align:start position:0%
voice in Polish and another that would
align:start position:0%
voice in Polish and another that would
say well there are four rules actually
align:start position:0%
say well there are four rules actually
align:start position:0%
say well there are four rules actually
there's a rule that says b d voices when
align:start position:0%
there's a rule that says b d voices when
align:start position:0%
there's a rule that says b d voices when
it's final and a rule that says d d
align:start position:0%
it's final and a rule that says d d
align:start position:0%
it's final and a rule that says d d
voices when it's final and a rule that

voices when it's final and a rule that
align:start position:0%
voices when it's final and a rule that
says G devices yeah
align:start position:0%
says G devices yeah
align:start position:0%
says G devices yeah
both of those would capture all of the
align:start position:0%
both of those would capture all of the
align:start position:0%
both of those would capture all of the
Polish facts one of them is clearly
align:start position:0%
Polish facts one of them is clearly

Polish facts one of them is clearly
better yeah uh so we want to understand

better yeah uh so we want to understand
why we get the particular phenomena that
align:start position:0%
why we get the particular phenomena that

why we get the particular phenomena that
we do in Polish is it clear to everybody
align:start position:0%
we do in Polish is it clear to everybody

we do in Polish is it clear to everybody
that that's that it would be better to

and what we're doing here is uh sort of
similar
align:start position:0%
similar
align:start position:0%
similar
why would it be better
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
what would be wrong why why is it better
align:start position:0%
what would be wrong why why is it better

what would be wrong why why is it better

than to say
align:start position:0%
than to say
align:start position:0%
than to say
well we have these four rules yeah
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
yeah so it might make it easier to make
align:start position:0%
yeah so it might make it easier to make
align:start position:0%
yeah so it might make it easier to make
cross-linguistic comparisons so yeah
align:start position:0%
cross-linguistic comparisons so yeah
align:start position:0%
cross-linguistic comparisons so yeah
that's a very good point yeah
align:start position:0%
that's a very good point yeah

that's a very good point yeah
yeah

we also maybe

we also maybe
I don't know if this is a good way to

I don't know if this is a good way to

I don't know if this is a good way to
say it maybe it is

if we're just making four rules for
align:start position:0%
if we're just making four rules for
align:start position:0%
if we're just making four rules for
those four letters then uh it's not
align:start position:0%
those four letters then uh it's not

those four letters then uh it's not
clear there's no reason why one of those
align:start position:0%
clear there's no reason why one of those

clear there's no reason why one of those
rules is more natural than the other but

What's Happening Here in Polish is

What's Happening Here in Polish is
extremely common uh so you get it in

um and so we want to understand why it's

um and so we want to understand why it's

um and so we want to understand why it's
common and part of understanding why
align:start position:0%
common and part of understanding why

common and part of understanding why
it's common is being able to say that

that's a common rule a standard rule

that's a common rule a standard rule
that we see all over the place and then

we can get to work on understanding it

we can get to work on understanding it
if we just have these four rules then
align:start position:0%
if we just have these four rules then

if we just have these four rules then
it's unclear why those four rules are so

it's unclear why those four rules are so

it's unclear why those four rules are so
common whereas uh b d a and o d voice at

the ends of words is not at all common I

don't know of any languages that do that

that makes sense that's another sense in

that makes sense that's another sense in
which yeah making generalizations is

like you know why why is science good
why is it good to make generalizations
align:start position:0%
why is it good to make generalizations

why is it good to make generalizations
um because it helps us to understand the

offered yeah
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
it's um yeah

it's um yeah

it's um yeah
yes arguably so there are languages that

D voice vowels
align:start position:0%
D voice vowels

um
uh mokalis is one no Japanese is another
align:start position:0%
uh mokalis is one no Japanese is another
align:start position:0%
uh mokalis is one no Japanese is another
um so Japanese has a general rule
align:start position:0%
um so Japanese has a general rule
align:start position:0%
um so Japanese has a general rule
devoicing
align:start position:0%
devoicing
align:start position:0%
devoicing
um it's High vowels
align:start position:0%
um it's High vowels
align:start position:0%
um it's High vowels
when they are
align:start position:0%
when they are
align:start position:0%
when they are
between voiceless consonants I guess so
align:start position:0%
between voiceless consonants I guess so
align:start position:0%
between voiceless consonants I guess so
uh here's the Japanese word for like and
align:start position:0%
uh here's the Japanese word for like and
align:start position:0%
uh here's the Japanese word for like and
it's pronounced ski ski so the uh isn't
align:start position:0%
it's pronounced ski ski so the uh isn't
align:start position:0%
it's pronounced ski ski so the uh isn't
proud you can't you don't say Suki
align:start position:0%
proud you can't you don't say Suki
align:start position:0%
proud you can't you don't say Suki
unless you're being very slow and
align:start position:0%
unless you're being very slow and
align:start position:0%
unless you're being very slow and
careful
align:start position:0%
careful
align:start position:0%
careful
and uh it's still a vowel in the sense
align:start position:0%
and uh it's still a vowel in the sense
align:start position:0%
and uh it's still a vowel in the sense
that your tongue and the rest of your
align:start position:0%
that your tongue and the rest of your
align:start position:0%
that your tongue and the rest of your
vocal tract is still in the
align:start position:0%
vocal tract is still in the
align:start position:0%
vocal tract is still in the
configuration that it would be if your
align:start position:0%
configuration that it would be if your
align:start position:0%
configuration that it would be if your
vocal cords were vibrating but they
align:start position:0%
vocal cords were vibrating but they
align:start position:0%
vocal cords were vibrating but they
aren't yeah so so yeah they're arguably
align:start position:0%
aren't yeah so so yeah they're arguably
align:start position:0%
aren't yeah so so yeah they're arguably
are voiceless vaults yeah yes Joseph
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
oh
align:start position:0%
oh
align:start position:0%
oh
um so in this particular example there
align:start position:0%
um so in this particular example there
align:start position:0%
um so in this particular example there
aren't any affixes you can add to ski to
align:start position:0%
aren't any affixes you can add to ski to
align:start position:0%
aren't any affixes you can add to ski to
to devoice the vowel
align:start position:0%
to devoice the vowel
align:start position:0%
to devoice the vowel
um but uh
align:start position:0%
um but uh
align:start position:0%
um but uh
um let me think of a of an example
align:start position:0%
um let me think of a of an example
align:start position:0%
um let me think of a of an example
uh
align:start position:0%
uh
align:start position:0%
uh
yeah so
align:start position:0%
yeah so
align:start position:0%
yeah so
um
align:start position:0%

um
uh
align:start position:0%

um so this is not high so it doesn't
align:start position:0%
um so this is not high so it doesn't
align:start position:0%
um so this is not high so it doesn't
devoice this is the verb to stand
align:start position:0%
devoice this is the verb to stand
align:start position:0%
devoice this is the verb to stand
um the more polite version of this
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
um
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
let me try to think of an example let me
align:start position:0%
let me try to think of an example let me
align:start position:0%
let me try to think of an example let me
try to think of an example that does
align:start position:0%
try to think of an example that does
align:start position:0%
try to think of an example that does
what you want but there aren't any
align:start position:0%
what you want but there aren't any
align:start position:0%
what you want but there aren't any
examples that will work with ski yeah
align:start position:0%
examples that will work with ski yeah
align:start position:0%
examples that will work with ski yeah
um
align:start position:0%
um
align:start position:0%
um
uh
align:start position:0%
uh
align:start position:0%
uh
okay so when I think of an example at
align:start position:0%
okay so when I think of an example at
align:start position:0%
okay so when I think of an example at
three in the morning I'll give you a

three in the morning I'll give you a
call leave me your phone number and uh

think of that

think of that
it's got to be a straightforward way to

it's got to be a straightforward way to

it's got to be a straightforward way to
do this it's going to bother me now uh
align:start position:0%
do this it's going to bother me now uh
align:start position:0%

right so if one of them is an H you get
align:start position:0%
right so if one of them is an H you get
align:start position:0%
right so if one of them is an H you get
rid of the H if not then you insert a
align:start position:0%
rid of the H if not then you insert a
align:start position:0%
rid of the H if not then you insert a
vowel in this position and not that
align:start position:0%
vowel in this position and not that

correct answer the adult's answer is to

correct answer the adult's answer is to
insert a schwa so the plural of Muzz
align:start position:0%
insert a schwa so the plural of Muzz
align:start position:0%
insert a schwa so the plural of Muzz
will be muzzes but uh deleting the Z one
align:start position:0%
will be muzzes but uh deleting the Z one
align:start position:0%
will be muzzes but uh deleting the Z one
of the Z is hard to know which one uh

of the Z is hard to know which one uh
also fixes that problem and so uh that

also fixes that problem and so uh that

well you've stopped the flow there at

that it's useful to say that there are

that it's useful to say that there are
words that end underlyingly in sounds

words that end underlyingly in sounds
like G and B and z and that those final

like G and B and z and that those final

like G and B and z and that those final
sounds G and B and Z devoice when

sounds G and B and Z devoice when
they're at the ends of words so
align:start position:0%
they're at the ends of words so

they're at the ends of words so
underlying the word for lie becomes if

underlying the word for lie becomes if

underlying the word for lie becomes if
you don't add anything to after it all

right and same with the word for club

devoices its final consonants

devoices its final consonants
which was a lie I think I told you just
align:start position:0%
which was a lie I think I told you just
align:start position:0%
which was a lie I think I told you just
now that I try not to lie to you any
align:start position:0%
now that I try not to lie to you any

now that I try not to lie to you any
more than I have to
align:start position:0%
more than I have to
align:start position:0%
more than I have to
um
align:start position:0%
um
align:start position:0%
um
it doesn't devoice its final consonants
align:start position:0%
it doesn't devoice its final consonants
align:start position:0%
it doesn't devoice its final consonants
right because uh polish has words like
align:start position:0%
right because uh polish has words like
align:start position:0%
right because uh polish has words like
Dom which is the word for house and that
align:start position:0%
Dom which is the word for house and that
align:start position:0%
Dom which is the word for house and that
ends in a voiced sound right Dom doesn't
align:start position:0%
ends in a voiced sound right Dom doesn't
align:start position:0%
ends in a voiced sound right Dom doesn't
become Dom yeah
align:start position:0%
become Dom yeah
align:start position:0%
become Dom yeah
right
align:start position:0%
right
align:start position:0%
right
so it's not the case that final
align:start position:0%
so it's not the case that final
align:start position:0%
so it's not the case that final

those are the things that become

those are the things that become
voiceless in Polish relatedly polish is
align:start position:0%
voiceless in Polish relatedly polish is
align:start position:0%
voiceless in Polish relatedly polish is
like English in having voiced and

okay all right so that's that's that's a

okay so the word that we think is
align:start position:0%
okay so the word that we think is
align:start position:0%
okay so the word that we think is
underlying out the word for Boomerang uh
align:start position:0%
underlying out the word for Boomerang uh
align:start position:0%
underlying out the word for Boomerang uh
in Islam and the form is the reason we
align:start position:0%
in Islam and the form is the reason we
align:start position:0%
in Islam and the form is the reason we
think that it's underlying liuang is
align:start position:0%
think that it's underlying liuang is
align:start position:0%
think that it's underlying liuang is
that if you add any suffixes to it you
align:start position:0%
that if you add any suffixes to it you
align:start position:0%
that if you add any suffixes to it you
you get to see that K so the accusative
align:start position:0%
you get to see that K so the accusative
align:start position:0%
you get to see that K so the accusative
I think I told you was
align:start position:0%
I think I told you was
align:start position:0%
I think I told you was
um uh so you know the K shows up uh in
align:start position:0%
um uh so you know the K shows up uh in
align:start position:0%
um uh so you know the K shows up uh in
and in other forms as well
align:start position:0%
and in other forms as well
align:start position:0%
and in other forms as well
we thought there was another rule that

we thought there was another rule that

we thought there was another rule that

uh and that was why uh gandu which is

uh and that was why uh gandu which is

uh and that was why uh gandu which is
the word for blood uh underlyingly
align:start position:0%
the word for blood uh underlyingly

the word for blood uh underlyingly
becomes Kanda uh in the nominative and

becomes Kanda uh in the nominative and
in the excuse

why we think it starts out as gandu

why we think it starts out as gandu
um so we have these two rules and what
align:start position:0%
um so we have these two rules and what
align:start position:0%
um so we have these two rules and what
we said when we were doing Laredo before
align:start position:0%
we said when we were doing Laredo before
align:start position:0%
we said when we were doing Laredo before
was something like uh we might want
align:start position:0%
was something like uh we might want
align:start position:0%
was something like uh we might want
these rules to apply in a particular

these rules to apply in a particular
align:start position:0%
these rules to apply in a particular
order uh in fact I see that I have
align:start position:0%
order uh in fact I see that I have
align:start position:0%
order uh in fact I see that I have
written them in the wrong order
align:start position:0%
written them in the wrong order
align:start position:0%
written them in the wrong order
um if you were to uh take the word nalok

um if you were to uh take the word nalok
which is the underlying form for story

which is the underlying form for story
and apply this Rule and then this rule
align:start position:0%
and apply this Rule and then this rule
align:start position:0%
and apply this Rule and then this rule
well then you know you would eliminate
align:start position:0%
well then you know you would eliminate
align:start position:0%
well then you know you would eliminate
the final K that would get you Malu and
align:start position:0%
the final K that would get you Malu and
align:start position:0%
the final K that would get you Malu and
then you would change the final uh
align:start position:0%
then you would change the final uh

then you would change the final uh
but that's not in fact the nominative

a popular way of thinking about this is
to think there are these rules and it's

in an optimality theoretic kind of way
well it's not hard to come up with

um and those constraints would look at

um and those constraints would look at

um and those constraints would look at
and I look uh sorry it went out and they

and I look uh sorry it went out and they

it'll be one now and they would look at

it'll be one now and they would look at

it'll be one now and they would look at

that are responsible for helping you

that are responsible for helping you
decide you know the best thing to do
align:start position:0%
decide you know the best thing to do

decide you know the best thing to do
with kandu is to change it to Kanda
align:start position:0%
with kandu is to change it to Kanda
align:start position:0%
with kandu is to change it to Kanda
instead of you know Kandi or kand or any

instead of you know Kandi or kand or any
of the variety of other things you could
align:start position:0%
of the variety of other things you could
align:start position:0%
of the variety of other things you could
have done so it's not all that hard to
align:start position:0%
have done so it's not all that hard to
align:start position:0%
have done so it's not all that hard to
have constraints that say there's
align:start position:0%
have constraints that say there's

have constraints that say there's
something wrong with one Oak there's
align:start position:0%
something wrong with one Oak there's
align:start position:0%
something wrong with one Oak there's
something wrong with kandu
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
but it's not easy to figure out what to
align:start position:0%
but it's not easy to figure out what to
align:start position:0%
but it's not easy to figure out what to
do next and so if you have those
align:start position:0%
do next and so if you have those
align:start position:0%
do next and so if you have those
conditions that say that adult cannot

conditions that say that adult cannot
stand words that end in K or words that

um that's the kind of thing we were

um that's the kind of thing we were
saying about you know Japanese accent

saying about you know Japanese accent
Japanese doesn't like Accent on the last

Japanese doesn't like Accent on the last
syllable so avoid it if you're making a

the conditions
um the sense in which it has something

um the sense in which it has something
like an order is that the conditions are

like an order is that the conditions are

like an order is that the conditions are

um but if we were to build a tableau
align:start position:0%
um but if we were to build a tableau
align:start position:0%
um but if we were to build a tableau
right we would have these two conditions
align:start position:0%
right we would have these two conditions

right we would have these two conditions
don't have final k

oh
um and we would start off with the look
align:start position:0%
um and we would start off with the look
align:start position:0%
um and we would start off with the look
and we'd consider keeping a look
align:start position:0%
and we'd consider keeping a look

and we'd consider keeping a look
and we'd consider getting rid of

and we'd consider getting rid of

and we'd consider getting rid of
the K at the end and maybe we consider
align:start position:0%
the K at the end and maybe we consider

the K at the end and maybe we consider
right and this one would get knocked out
align:start position:0%
right and this one would get knocked out
align:start position:0%
right and this one would get knocked out
by star final K right because it would
align:start position:0%
by star final K right because it would
align:start position:0%
by star final K right because it would
end in K and this one would get knocked
align:start position:0%
end in K and this one would get knocked
align:start position:0%
end in K and this one would get knocked
out by star final ooh yeah and this one
align:start position:0%
out by star final ooh yeah and this one
align:start position:0%
out by star final ooh yeah and this one
would pass both of those conditions
align:start position:0%
would pass both of those conditions
align:start position:0%
would pass both of those conditions
so if we just did a tableau like this if
align:start position:0%
so if we just did a tableau like this if
align:start position:0%
so if we just did a tableau like this if
we said you know lardel seems to not
align:start position:0%
we said you know lardel seems to not
align:start position:0%
we said you know lardel seems to not
like this and not like that and we have
align:start position:0%
like this and not like that and we have
align:start position:0%
like this and not like that and we have
evidence for that in these other cases
align:start position:0%
evidence for that in these other cases
align:start position:0%
evidence for that in these other cases
it seems as though
align:start position:0%
it seems as though
align:start position:0%
it seems as though
but that's wrong yeah so the fact is
align:start position:0%
but that's wrong yeah so the fact is
align:start position:0%
but that's wrong yeah so the fact is
this is the one we want to win and it's
align:start position:0%
this is the one we want to win and it's
align:start position:0%
this is the one we want to win and it's
hard to see how once we've posited these
align:start position:0%
hard to see how once we've posited these
align:start position:0%
hard to see how once we've posited these
conditions how we can get this to win
align:start position:0%
conditions how we can get this to win
align:start position:0%
conditions how we can get this to win
this seems like it ought to be better
align:start position:0%
this seems like it ought to be better
align:start position:0%
this seems like it ought to be better
once we posited these conditions so the
align:start position:0%
once we posited these conditions so the
align:start position:0%
once we posited these conditions so the
puzzle and there's something people work
align:start position:0%
puzzle and there's something people work
align:start position:0%
puzzle and there's something people work
on just try to figure out why why is
align:start position:0%
on just try to figure out why why is
align:start position:0%
on just try to figure out why why is
that second one better than the third
align:start position:0%
that second one better than the third
align:start position:0%
that second one better than the third
one
align:start position:0%
one
align:start position:0%
one
yeah how about we rephrase yeah
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
okay so we could have a rule that says
align:start position:0%
okay so we could have a rule that says
align:start position:0%
okay so we could have a rule that says
that's nice we could say no final oh
align:start position:0%
that's nice we could say no final oh
align:start position:0%
that's nice we could say no final oh
this is another way of saying what you
align:start position:0%
this is another way of saying what you
align:start position:0%
this is another way of saying what you
just said uh no final ooh that was final
align:start position:0%
just said uh no final ooh that was final
align:start position:0%
just said uh no final ooh that was final
in original form
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
yep so we need more capital letters but
align:start position:0%
yep so we need more capital letters but
align:start position:0%
yep so we need more capital letters but
it's okay so yes if we if we state it
align:start position:0%
it's okay so yes if we if we state it
align:start position:0%
it's okay so yes if we if we state it
that way
align:start position:0%
that way
align:start position:0%
that way
um then uh
align:start position:0%
um then uh
align:start position:0%
um then uh
um this passes that version of it
align:start position:0%
um this passes that version of it
align:start position:0%
um this passes that version of it
and as long as we have some other
align:start position:0%
and as long as we have some other
align:start position:0%
and as long as we have some other
condition that says Don't Change vowels
align:start position:0%

just for the fun of it don't change ooh

a word that has an ooh in it that's not

at the end uh it's not going to change
align:start position:0%
at the end uh it's not going to change

um then yes uh then this would win
align:start position:0%
um then yes uh then this would win

you've just raised one of the ways one

no yeah so this is one of the kinds of

no yeah so this is one of the kinds of

no yeah so this is one of the kinds of
things that linguists still fight about

things that linguists still fight about
like how to how to deal with these kinds

like how to how to deal with these kinds
of tensions yes

I think we can still think

we can you know make it like Assembly

people make where they say
um well there are various ways of

theory was to say uh we're going to do

theory was to say uh we're going to do
something an optimality theory that

something an optimality theory that
allows us to simulate having rules in
align:start position:0%
allows us to simulate having rules in
align:start position:0%
allows us to simulate having rules in
order so what we'll do is we'll have a
align:start position:0%
order so what we'll do is we'll have a
align:start position:0%
order so what we'll do is we'll have a
word go through the tableaus more than
align:start position:0%
word go through the tableaus more than
align:start position:0%
word go through the tableaus more than
once
align:start position:0%
once
align:start position:0%
once
and the or the conditions can be in
align:start position:0%
and the or the conditions can be in
align:start position:0%
and the or the conditions can be in
different orders in the different
align:start position:0%
different orders in the different
align:start position:0%
different orders in the different
tableaus so we'll have a tableau first
align:start position:0%
tableaus so we'll have a tableau first
align:start position:0%
tableaus so we'll have a tableau first
that says uh you know final K is very
align:start position:0%
that says uh you know final K is very

that says uh you know final K is very
bad let's say and it doesn't have

bad let's say and it doesn't have
final ooh is bad right and then we'll
align:start position:0%
final ooh is bad right and then we'll
align:start position:0%
final ooh is bad right and then we'll
have another Tableau that maybe doesn't
align:start position:0%
have another Tableau that maybe doesn't
align:start position:0%
have another Tableau that maybe doesn't
have final K is very bad but has final
align:start position:0%
have final K is very bad but has final

have final K is very bad but has final
ooh is bad right and that's a way to
align:start position:0%
ooh is bad right and that's a way to
align:start position:0%
ooh is bad right and that's a way to
simulate ordered rules basically is to
align:start position:0%
simulate ordered rules basically is to
align:start position:0%
simulate ordered rules basically is to
say we go through tableaus multiple
align:start position:0%
say we go through tableaus multiple
align:start position:0%
say we go through tableaus multiple
times and the the tableaus look
align:start position:0%
times and the the tableaus look
align:start position:0%
times and the the tableaus look
different from each other they have
align:start position:0%
different from each other they have
align:start position:0%
different from each other they have
different conditions in them or they
align:start position:0%
different conditions in them or they
align:start position:0%
different conditions in them or they
have the conditions in different orders
align:start position:0%
have the conditions in different orders
align:start position:0%
have the conditions in different orders
that's one way one way to talk about it

it doesn't it doesn't violate this first

um uh sort of illustration of this the

um uh sort of illustration of this the
coronal sounds are the ones that are the
align:start position:0%
coronal sounds are the ones that are the
align:start position:0%
coronal sounds are the ones that are the
the sun letters they're the ones where
align:start position:0%
the sun letters they're the ones where

the sun letters they're the ones where
you uh the the last consonant of the
align:start position:0%
you uh the the last consonant of the
align:start position:0%
you uh the the last consonant of the
definite article just becomes a copy of
align:start position:0%
definite article just becomes a copy of
align:start position:0%
definite article just becomes a copy of
the following consonant notice that the
align:start position:0%
the following consonant notice that the
align:start position:0%
the following consonant notice that the
last consonant of the indefinite article
align:start position:0%
last consonant of the indefinite article
align:start position:0%
last consonant of the indefinite article
underlyingly is L which is itself
align:start position:0%
underlyingly is L which is itself
align:start position:0%
underlyingly is L which is itself
coronal so uh it's like the end of the
align:start position:0%
coronal so uh it's like the end of the
align:start position:0%
coronal so uh it's like the end of the
definite article is going to be coronal
align:start position:0%
definite article is going to be coronal
align:start position:0%
definite article is going to be coronal
uh if nothing else happens it's going to
align:start position:0%
uh if nothing else happens it's going to
align:start position:0%
uh if nothing else happens it's going to
be L but if there's a cardinal right
align:start position:0%
be L but if there's a cardinal right
align:start position:0%
be L but if there's a cardinal right
after it it just becomes a copy of the

after it it just becomes a copy of the

after it it just becomes a copy of the
following chordal does that make sense

that's what's going on in all of these
align:start position:0%
that's what's going on in all of these
align:start position:0%
that's what's going on in all of these
examples so with moon and Mare and book
align:start position:0%
examples so with moon and Mare and book
align:start position:0%
examples so with moon and Mare and book
and more and father the L of the
align:start position:0%
and more and father the L of the
align:start position:0%
and more and father the L of the
definite article can't become a copy of

definite article can't become a copy of
the following consonant and remain

the following consonant and remain
coronal yeah whereas in the sun letters
align:start position:0%
coronal yeah whereas in the sun letters
align:start position:0%
coronal yeah whereas in the sun letters
the ones on the right by copying the
align:start position:0%
the ones on the right by copying the
align:start position:0%
the ones on the right by copying the
following consonant the the L of the
align:start position:0%
following consonant the the L of the
align:start position:0%
following consonant the the L of the
definite article is still a coronal
align:start position:0%

[Music]
align:start position:0%
[Music]
align:start position:0%
[Music]
somebody had a great idea about that
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
uh so that's what's going on in these uh
align:start position:0%
uh so that's what's going on in these uh
align:start position:0%
uh so that's what's going on in these uh
in these Arabic examples
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
um okay a rule that we could have for
align:start position:0%
um okay a rule that we could have for
align:start position:0%
um okay a rule that we could have for
the Arabic definite article yes I just
align:start position:0%
the Arabic definite article yes I just
align:start position:0%
the Arabic definite article yes I just
said this thank you L is also Cardinal
align:start position:0%
said this thank you L is also Cardinal
align:start position:0%
said this thank you L is also Cardinal
uh a rule we could have for the Arabic
align:start position:0%
uh a rule we could have for the Arabic
align:start position:0%
uh a rule we could have for the Arabic
definite article would say you know in
align:start position:0%
definite article would say you know in
align:start position:0%
definite article would say you know in
the definite article and L becomes a
align:start position:0%
the definite article and L becomes a
align:start position:0%
the definite article and L becomes a
copy of a following coronal consonant so
align:start position:0%
copy of a following coronal consonant so
align:start position:0%
copy of a following coronal consonant so
you know we have sort of a variable
align:start position:0%
you know we have sort of a variable
align:start position:0%
you know we have sort of a variable
consonants uh subscript I which says
align:start position:0%
consonants uh subscript I which says
align:start position:0%
consonants uh subscript I which says
whatever the con following consonant is
align:start position:0%
whatever the con following consonant is
align:start position:0%
whatever the con following consonant is
if it's coronal uh the L will also get
align:start position:0%
if it's coronal uh the L will also get
align:start position:0%
if it's coronal uh the L will also get
the value consonant sub I but it'll
align:start position:0%
the value consonant sub I but it'll
align:start position:0%
the value consonant sub I but it'll
it'll it'll have the same form as the
align:start position:0%
it'll it'll have the same form as the
align:start position:0%
it'll it'll have the same form as the
following consonant yeah
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
you know
align:start position:0%
you know
align:start position:0%
you know
or like uh which means home yeah
align:start position:0%
or like uh which means home yeah
align:start position:0%
or like uh which means home yeah
and uh Arabic actually has
align:start position:0%
and uh Arabic actually has
align:start position:0%
and uh Arabic actually has
like which like duplicates uh one letter
align:start position:0%
like which like duplicates uh one letter
align:start position:0%
like which like duplicates uh one letter
yeah so
align:start position:0%
yeah so
align:start position:0%
yeah so
so I think is that when you can
align:start position:0%
so I think is that when you can
align:start position:0%
so I think is that when you can
duplicate the letter you just duplicate
align:start position:0%
duplicate the letter you just duplicate
align:start position:0%
duplicate the letter you just duplicate
it
align:start position:0%
it
align:start position:0%
it
yeah yeah
align:start position:0%
yeah yeah
align:start position:0%
yeah yeah
there's like the the moon yeah you can
align:start position:0%
there's like the the moon yeah you can
align:start position:0%
there's like the the moon yeah you can
do that so yeah so but there are I see
align:start position:0%
do that so yeah so but there are I see
align:start position:0%
do that so yeah so but there are I see
what you mean but look there there are
align:start position:0%
what you mean but look there there are
align:start position:0%
what you mean but look there there are
uh consonants like uh p and t and K
align:start position:0%
uh consonants like uh p and t and K
align:start position:0%
uh consonants like uh p and t and K
which are all stops but T is coronal and
align:start position:0%
which are all stops but T is coronal and
align:start position:0%
which are all stops but T is coronal and
P and K are not right and so all of
align:start position:0%
P and K are not right and so all of
align:start position:0%
P and K are not right and so all of
those are equally hard to maintain for a
align:start position:0%
those are equally hard to maintain for a
align:start position:0%
those are equally hard to maintain for a
long time I think or similarly I think
align:start position:0%
long time I think or similarly I think
align:start position:0%
long time I think or similarly I think
what we're hoping you can stop me if
align:start position:0%
what we're hoping you can stop me if
align:start position:0%
what we're hoping you can stop me if
this is not true is that if there are
align:start position:0%
this is not true is that if there are
align:start position:0%
this is not true is that if there are
Arabic words that start with M uh those
align:start position:0%
Arabic words that start with M uh those
align:start position:0%
Arabic words that start with M uh those
you'll get Al before that before in M
align:start position:0%
you'll get Al before that before in M
align:start position:0%
you'll get Al before that before in M
yeah but for Arabic words that start
align:start position:0%
yeah but for Arabic words that start
align:start position:0%
yeah but for Arabic words that start
with n you get a copy of the N yeah and
align:start position:0%
with n you get a copy of the N yeah and
align:start position:0%
with n you get a copy of the N yeah and
again those are all sort of equally easy
align:start position:0%
again those are all sort of equally easy
align:start position:0%
again those are all sort of equally easy
to hold on for a long time so that's a

think it doesn't so uh so the baby maybe
align:start position:0%

you know do you know what algebra is in

you know do you know what algebra is in
in Arabic
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
oh okay

oh okay
align:start position:0%
oh okay
so I got it backwards yeah so we we uh
align:start position:0%
so I got it backwards yeah so we we uh
align:start position:0%
so I got it backwards yeah so we we uh
we kept the L we didn't do the change so
align:start position:0%
we kept the L we didn't do the change so
align:start position:0%
we kept the L we didn't do the change so
it starts it starts with a J uh starts
align:start position:0%
it starts it starts with a J uh starts

it starts it starts with a J uh starts
with a chord and I'll but it didn't do
align:start position:0%
with a chord and I'll but it didn't do
align:start position:0%
with a chord and I'll but it didn't do
the change I wonder whether we borrowed
align:start position:0%
the change I wonder whether we borrowed
align:start position:0%
the change I wonder whether we borrowed
it before Arabic did this sound change

all right

um
so this is one kind of rule uh it's a
align:start position:0%
so this is one kind of rule uh it's a
align:start position:0%
so this is one kind of rule uh it's a
very common kind of rule where one sound
align:start position:0%
very common kind of rule where one sound
align:start position:0%
very common kind of rule where one sound
becomes more like another sound it's
align:start position:0%
becomes more like another sound it's
align:start position:0%
becomes more like another sound it's
called the simulation
align:start position:0%
called the simulation

called the simulation
um and uh this particular case it's
align:start position:0%
um and uh this particular case it's

um and uh this particular case it's
what's sometimes called total

what's sometimes called total

what's sometimes called total
assimilation where uh one sound just
align:start position:0%
assimilation where uh one sound just
align:start position:0%
assimilation where uh one sound just
becomes a complete copy of another sound
align:start position:0%
becomes a complete copy of another sound
align:start position:0%
becomes a complete copy of another sound
we'll see other cases where one sound
align:start position:0%
we'll see other cases where one sound
align:start position:0%
we'll see other cases where one sound
just kind of changes in ways that
align:start position:0%
just kind of changes in ways that
align:start position:0%
just kind of changes in ways that
resemble a nearby sound
align:start position:0%
resemble a nearby sound

um uh why do you do assimilation
align:start position:0%
um uh why do you do assimilation
align:start position:0%
um uh why do you do assimilation
languages do assimilation all the time
align:start position:0%
languages do assimilation all the time
align:start position:0%
languages do assimilation all the time
and you sort of not hard to have

and you sort of not hard to have
pre-theoretical Notions about why right
align:start position:0%

that you're saving wear and tear on your

instead of an L so for uh let's take the

instead of an L so for uh let's take the
Sun
align:start position:0%
align:start position:0%
um uh you know if you know that the word
align:start position:0%
um uh you know if you know that the word

um uh you know if you know that the word
for sun is shem's uh and you've got this

for sun is shem's uh and you've got this
align:start position:0%
for sun is shem's uh and you've got this
thing before it
align:start position:0%

um basically it's as though you only

um basically it's as though you only

um basically it's as though you only
need to give your hearer enough
align:start position:0%
need to give your hearer enough

need to give your hearer enough
information to help them to know that

they're hearing a definite article

they're hearing a definite article
before the word for sun

um and Arabic has decided uh it's enough

if you hear the glottal stop and the

underlyingly that Cardinal maybe is an L

but as long as we keep it coronal we've

given the hearer enough uh that they get

given the hearer enough uh that they get

given the hearer enough uh that they get
to hear it and in fact we give the

to hear it and in fact we give the

to hear it and in fact we give the
hearer in a sense two shots of hearing
align:start position:0%

the beginning of the word for sun you

know so we'll have we'll we'll and we'll
align:start position:0%
know so we'll have we'll we'll and we'll

know so we'll have we'll we'll and we'll
lengthen that sound right so we'll we'll

lengthen that sound right so we'll we'll
pronounce it twice

um so we're sort of redistributing the
align:start position:0%
um so we're sort of redistributing the

um so we're sort of redistributing the
signal in a way uh to the hearer to make

giving up some of what makes the

questions about any of this yes
align:start position:0%

so I I was I was trying to to sort of

so I I was I was trying to to sort of

so I I was I was trying to to sort of
float the idea that it's partly to make

float the idea that it's partly to make
the pronunciation easier it's so that uh

your articulators are not having to move
