Parallel Optimality Theory does model palatalization and syncope in Bedouin Hijazi Arabic

Palatalization-syncope interactions in Bedouin Hijazi Arabic have been cited as a problem for parallel Optimality Theory as they seemingly exhibit counterbleeding opacity. This paper presents an analysis of the interaction as coalescence, resolving the apparent problem.

Abstract

Palatalization-syncope interactions in Bedouin Hijazi Arabic have been cited as a problem for parallel Optimality Theory as they seemingly exhibit counterbleeding opacity. This paper presents an analysis of the interaction as coalescence, resolving the apparent problem.
