Study questions and study guides for readings
Tips on reading scholarly
articles
Problem sets
I'll usually post two versions of each assignment:
- the PDF version, which is best for viewing and printing
- a MS Word version, with fonts embedded, so that you can (I hope) copy and
paste data to your write-up
The main special font that I use is Doulos IPA
(see below for link to download these free fonts
from SIL).
In theory font-embedding should make the special characters available
to you even if you don't have the font, but it doesn't always work.
- Rule analysis of Palauan verb paradigms, due
Friday, Jan. 16 Tuesday, Jan. 20.
- OT analysis of metaphony systems, due Tuesday, Feb. 3.
- Directionality in Woleaian, due Friday, Feb. 13.
- Process interaction in Kalinga, due Friday, Feb. 20.
- Stress in Fijian, due Friday, Mar. 6.
- Autosegmentalism in Quechua, due Friday, Mar. 13 (shorter than usual, I hope!).

Bruce Hayes's OTSoft
If you give it candidates, constraints, and constraint violations,
it gives you a constraint ranking (if there is one) and makes nice tableaux
for you.
Also runs Gradual Learning Algorithm and MaxEnt OT
Staubs et al.'s OT-Help
Accepts OTSoft-format input files.
Will rank your constraints in standard OT,
but will also give Harmonic Grammar constraint weights--and implements
serial versions of both.
Floris van Vugt's Marpa-OT
Lets you make an OT tableau in a spreadsheet program and then convert it
into code you can paste into a LaTeX document.
