All-P-Left and All-P-Right #527

Open nkalivoda opened 3 years ago

nkalivoda commented 3 years ago

Markedness constraints in the Align family, based on work by Brett Hyde. Mainly for my idea to expand to cover metrical constraints on feet and syllables, but potentially interesting for higher categories as well.

All-P-Left Assign a violation for every triplet ⟨U,P,Q⟩, U at level k+1, P at level k, and Q at level k-1, such that P and Q are contained in U, and Q precedes P. (When U=ω, P=Ft, and Q=σ, this is All-Feet-Left.)

All-P-Left Assign a violation for every triplet ⟨U,P,Q⟩, U at level k+1, P at level k, and Q at level k-1, such that P and Q are contained in U and, Q follows P. (When U=ω, P=Ft, and Q=σ, this is All-Feet-Right.)

Not sure if "U", "P", and "Q" are great in the names and definitions, open to naming suggestions.
