“…The treatment of unbounded stress (Baek, 2018), Uyghur backness harmony (Mayer and Major, 2018), and Sanskrit n-retroflexion (Graf and Mayer, 2018) in subregular phonology has given rise to a rich collection of extensions of the tierbased strictly local languages (TSL; Heinz et al, 2011) as formal descriptions of the typology of phonotactic dependencies. These language classes formalize the notion of local dependencies defined on tiers.…”

This paper situates culminative unbounded stress systems within the subregular hierarchy for functions. While Baek (2018) has argued that such systems can be uniformly understood as input tier-based strictly local constraints, we show here that default-to-oppositeside and default-to-same-side stress systems belong to distinct subregular classes when they are viewed as functions that assign primary stress to underlying forms. While the former system can be captured by input tier-based input strictly local functions, a subsequential function class that we define here, the latter system is not subsequential, though it is weakly deterministic according to McCollum et al.'s (2018) non-interaction criterion. Our results motivate the extension of recently proposed subregular language classes to subregular functions and argue in favor of McCollum et al.'s definition of weak determinism over that of Heinz and Lai (2013).

“…This shows that IO-TSL is indeed a generalization of TSL. In fact, I-TSL and O-TSL have been independently proposed in computational phonology (Baek, 2017;De Santo and Graf, 2017;Mayer and Major, 2018;Yang, 2018), and Graf and Mayer (2018) show that the combination of the two into IO-TSL furnishes the additional power that is required for Sanskrit n-retroflexion. Under the assumption that dependencies in phonology and syntax are of comparable complexity, IO-TSL is a natural candidate for a tighter upper bound on the complexity of constraints on c-strings.…”

“…Such functions are "local" in the sense that the action performed on each input symbol depends only on information about symbols in the input and output streams within a bounded distance. In this paper, we augment strictly local functions with tier projection, a mechanism introduced by Heinz et al (2011) and elaborated by Baek (2018), Mayer and Major (2018), and Graf and Mayer (2018) that allows the locality constraint to bypass irrelevant alphabet symbols, extending the distance over which dependencies may be enforced.…”

This paper defines a subregular class of functions called the tier-based synchronized strictly local (TSSL) functions. These functions are similar to the the tier-based inputoutput strictly local (TIOSL) functions, except that the locality condition is enforced not on the input and output streams, but on the computation history of the minimal subsequential finite-state transducer. We show that TSSL functions naturally describe rhythmic syncope while TIOSL functions cannot, and we argue that TSSL functions provide a more restricted characterization of rhythmic syncope than existing treatments within Optimality Theory.
