| Abstract | To establish Optimality Theory as a framework in anthropology, or as a general model of higher human cognition, researchers have to demonstrate OT is convincing in a number of ways. This commentary summarizes some of them - based on experience obtained in contemporary linguistic OT - including factorial typologies, exact formulation of candidate sets and constraints, and computational plausibility. |
