The traditional view embodied in the work of Montague and Kaplan (e.g., Kaplan, 1979; Montague, 1970) sees content being fully determined by linguistic meaning relative to a contextual index. In contrast, the radical view takes it tha

Optimization in Focus Identification,er wishes to interpret a sentence containing a focus particle, one of the things she must do is identify the focused expression. Although we are concerned here with bound focus only (i.e., the focus with which a focus particle associates, in the terminology of Jackendoff, 1972), bound focus and free

Input-Output Mismatches in Optimality Theory,, the perspective of asymmetric relationships between input and output. For interpretation, the input is a form and the output a meaning, and for production the input is a meaning and the output is a form. A mismatch is any case where there is no isomorphism between the space of meanings and the spa

Remarks on the Architecture of Optimality Theoretic Syntax Grammars,, the usual production-oriented optimization (called ‘first optimization’ here) is accompanied by a second step that checks the recoverability of an underlying form; (ii) this underlying form already contains a full-fledged syntactic specification; (iii) the procedure checking for recoverability esp
