“…In post lexical phonology, [rtr] shifts its tier, so that sibilants and uvulars are both able to interact with vowels. This account is very similar to the account proposed here, as the special [rtr] tier for coronals is equivalent to the correspondence relation (Hansson, 2014;Del Busso & Bennett, 2019). Nonetheless, this account does not consider asymmetric transparency and is not capable to solve it without modifications.…”

Transparent segments have been a well known challenge for accounts of patterns of long distance agreement, such as vowel and consonant harmony. Two standard ways to account for transparency are autosegmental feature spreading with underspecification (e.g. Kiparsky 1981; Steriade 1987) and Agreement by Correspondence (ABC; Walker 2000; Walker & Rose 2004; Hansson 2001). Both, however, fail to derive the multiple instances of transparency encountered in Tsilhqút'ín (Cook 1993; 2013). Here, non-retracted dorsals act both as transparent and as opaque to the process of vowel retraction, depending on which side of the trigger, a retracted sibilant, they are located. On the other hand, both retracted and non-retracted dorsals are transparent in sibilant harmony, in which sibilants are forced to agree in retraction. I propose a superset approach that combines feature spreading and underspecification with ABC: All dorsals are transparent in sibilant harmony, because they are outside the correspondence relation. At the first step of the derivation, non-retracted dorsals are not specified for retraction, allowing them to be transparent to regressive retraction. At a later step, they are negatively specified and hence able to block progressive retraction.

“…SI eliminates properties and equalises grammars: when properties are lost, grammars differing only in the values of these become the same, and their languages are co-optimal. While the two cases are developed using abstract OT systems, both are manifested in concrete OT systems as well, including the typologies analysed in Bennett & DelBusso (2018) and DelBusso & Bennett (2019), which are based on the literature on Agreement by Correspondence (Rose & Walker 2004, Hansson 2010, Bennett 2015). The SA case connects to theories that posit families of parallel constraints, such as constraint schemata that make the same kind of choice independently available for different features, arrangements, directions, categories, etc.…”

Work in Optimality Theory on the constraint set, Con, has often raised the question of whether certain types of constraints have multiple specific versions or are single general constraints that effectively sum the violations of specific variants. Comparing and evaluating analyses that differ in this way requires knowing the effect of this kind of summing on the full typology, which itself depends on the relationship of summands in the full system. Such relationships can be difficult to ascertain from inspecting violation profiles alone. This paper uses Property Theory to analyse the systematic effects of summing constraints in two distinct kinds of relationships: (i) across distinct properties, and (ii) within a constraint class in a single property. The results show how these two types collapse the typology in different, yet predictable, ways. Property Analysis provides a key to identifying constraint relationships and so to delineating the effect of summing.
