Developing these ideas, I propose that systematic opaque generalizations may arise from rankings of lexically indexed constraints (Kraska-Szlenk 1995, Pater 2000). This perspective has consequences for models of phonological learning, since it allows us to view both exceptionality and opacity as part of the same hidden structure learning problem.<br>In order to allow constraint indexation to be relevant to opacity, indexation must be binary (cf. Becker 2009) and local to particular segments (cf.

Given such indices, different rankings of indexed markedness constraints allow for exceptionless or exceptionful opaque interactions, which will be illustrated with an analysis of Canadian Raising (Chambers 1973, Berm\u00fadez-Otero 2003).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker:\u00a0Aleksei Nazarov\u00a0(University of Toronto)Title:\u00a0Connecting opacity and exceptionality: &#8220;alphabet features&#8221; in constraintsTime:\u00a0Wednesday (5\/8),\u00a05:00pm-6:30pmLocation:\u00a032-D831 Abstract\u00a0Some analyses of phonological opacity in OT maintain that opaque generalizations are encoded in the lexicon (e.g., Mielke et al. 2003, Sanders 2006), or result from language-specific constraints (Pater 2014).
