Abstract

Introduction

‘Comparative Markedness’ (CM) tries among other things to characterize the notion ‘possible constraint’ in Optimality Theory (OT) and in this way to both extend and constrain the scope of the theory. The author is the first to admit that the theory as it stands is not perfect in my opinion, it is the best approximation to problems such as opacity and derived environment effects within OT that is currently available; but problems remain.
