Coda Neutralization in Korean: OT Approach

So far we have proposed the following constraint ranking for the (over-)application of the coda neutralization: (22) License family ≫ UE family ≫ IDENT-IO family ≫ Base-ID This analysis shows that only the surface level is enough to analyze the opaque behaviors of coda neutralization. Uniform Exponence constraint is worth further study since it can handle Consonant Cluster Simplification and underapplication of /t/-palatalization in Korean compounds in which morphemes before a stem are uniformly realized as one surface form: i.e., the output base form (S. Hong in preparation)(equation omitted)
