Abstract

This chapter discusses the framework of Realization Optimality Theory, a constraint-based theory of morphology. I provide an overview of its theoretical assumptions and components such as realization constraints, markedness constraints, morphotactic constraints, inputs, outputs, and the function Gen. Previous accounts of several morphological phenomena based on Realization Optimality Theory are introduced. I also present some new thoughts on this framework with regard to affix ordering, stem formation and stem selection in inflectional morphology as well as Realization Optimality Theory approaches to derivational morphology, compounding, and clitics.
