DescriptionThis paper argues for an analysis of exceptions in Optimality Theory in terms of lexically specific markedness and faithfulness constraints. This approach is shown to capture locality restrictions, distinctions between exceptional and truly impossible patterns, distinctions between blocking and triggering, and distinctions between variation and exceptionality. It is contrasted with other OT analyses of exceptions, in particular those involving lexically specified rankings (or cophonologies), and those that disallow lexically specific faithfulness constraints. The data discussed are from Finnish and Piro. A learnability account of the genesis of lexically specific constraints is also provided.
NoteThe definitive version of this paper was published in University of
Massachusetts Occasional Papers in Linguistics 32: Papers in Optimality Theory III (2007) and is available at http://glsa.hypermart.net/

This is the longer version of the paper and it includes a discussion of derived environment effects, focusing on data from Chumash, as well as slightly more discussion of Finnish. The shorter version is more recent, and it would be best to consult it for anything else.

The shorter version of this paper is titled "Morpheme-Specific Phonology: Constraint Indexation and Inconsistency Resolution" and is available at http://rucore.libraries.rutgers.edu/rutgers-lib/41017/.
