PARADIGMS (OPTIMAL AND OTHERWISE): A CASE
This paper aims to contribute to the debate on the status of inflectional paradigms in grammatical theory, with special reference to the theory of Optimal Paradigms (OP, McCarthy 2005), a particular version of Paradigm Uniformity. OP proposes that certain systematic phonological differences between...
