This dissertation identifies a strong computational property of phonological and
morphological processes with local triggers. It is shown that the input-output map** that …

This chapter studies the nature of the typology of phonological markedness constraints and
the nature of the typology of the transformation from underlying to surface forms from a …

This extensive survey of consonant harmony in the world's languages reveals surprising
diversity in the featural dimensions involved, and uncovers new empirical generalizations …

This work attempts to explain the types of computation that neural networks can perform by
relating them to automata. We first define what it means for a real-time network with bounded …

In this article, we identify Strict Locality as a strong computational property of a certain class
of phonological maps from underlying to surface forms. We show that these maps can be …

An important property of any language's sound system is its phonotactics—the unique way
in which it allows its inventory of speech sounds to combine. Interestingly, certain types of …

Harmony is one of the most researched phenomena in phonological theory, mainly due to its
iterative, nonlocal nature. In this review, I summarize several of the key issues in harmony …

I propose a learning-based account of phonological-tier-like representations. I argue that
humans show a proclivity for tracking adjacent dependencies, and propose a learning …

We define two proper subclasses of subsequential functions based on the concept of Strict
Locality (McNaughton and Papert, 1971; Rogers and Pullum, 2011; Rogers et al., 2013) for …
