Condition: Muy bueno. : Este libro es una introducción a la Teoría de la Optimidad, cuya idea central es que las formas superficiales del lenguaje reflejan resoluciones de conflictos entre restricciones contrapuestas. Una forma superficial es 'óptima' si incurre en las violaciones menos graves de un conjunto de restricciones, teniendo en cuenta su clasificación jerárquica. Los idiomas difieren en la clasificación de las restricciones; y cualquier violación debe ser mínima. El libro no limita su alcance empírico a los fenómenos fonológicos, sino que también contiene capítulos sobre la capacidad de aprendizaje de las gramáticas OT; Las implicaciones de OT para la sintaxis; y otros temas como la opacidad. También revisa en detalle una selección de la considerable producción de investigación que OT ya ha producido. Los ejercicios acompañan a los capítulos 1-7, y hay secciones sobre lectura adicional. La Teoría de la Optimidad será bien recibida por cualquier lingüista con un conocimiento básico de la fonología generativa derivacional.
