We show that Underspecification\/Overspecification combined with P??inian ordering as rules for Vocabulary Insertion are both inherently monotonic. In other words, previous works deriving *ABA using these approaches all implicitly share the monotonicity thesis.<\/p>\n<p>However, given the independently motivated featural successive containment relations in the domains of Case (Nom ? Acc ? Dat) and Gender (Neu ? Msc ? Fem) in Germanic languages, we find monotonicity falls short in capturing attested paradigms, and therefore both Underspecification and Overspecification undergenerate. Monotonicity in the form as explicitly posited by Graf (2019) or implicitly assumed by many others may thus not be a desirable property for language. Our survey further suggests that the empirical picture instead aligns with an concept that\u0092s properly weaker that monotonicity\u0097Output-driven (Tesar 2014; Magri 2018a,b), which requires monotonicity not between any two feature bundles with the same output, but only between any feature bundle and the output it maps to.<\/p>\n<p>We propose an optimization-based approach to Vocabulary Insertion which allows for and penalizes feature addition and deletion, with penalties tied to specific features. Realization of a feature bundle is determined by minimizing the penalty incurred to reach a feature bundle associated with a dedicated Vocabulary Item. We argue it generates\u0097and only generates\u0097output-driven mappings, fitting the empirical picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Stanislao Zomp\u00ec (Universit\u00e4t Potsdam) and Zhouyi Sun (MIT) Title: Augmenting Vocabulary Insertion: From Monotonic to Output-driven Time: Thursday, December 5, 5-6pm Location: 32-D769 Abstract: It has been argued that *ABA in root suppletion patterns can be reduced to the principle of monotonicity: given a partial order among feature bundles, if two feature bundles x [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16789"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16789\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16790,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16789\/revisions\/16790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
