17 January 2007:
The news came today that I passed my first Qualifying Paper. Entitled Selectivity and Voicing Assimilation, it is an OT account of both tautosyllabic and heterosyllabic voicing assimilation. It proposes that there is only one voicing head per syllabic constituent, and that constraints on voicing refer only to this head. The generalization that there are no languages with tautosyllabic voicing disagreement follows, as does the range of heterosyllabic assimilation patterns. For related presentations, see my handouts page. After a few minor revisions, I will be submitting it to the ROA. My thanks to my committee: Paul de Lacy, Alan Prince, and Bruce Tesar.
