Abstract

Optimality Theory (OT) is a linguistic theory originated mainly from phonological studies in 1990s. (Prince & Smolensky 1993; McCarthy & Prince 1993a, 1993b, 1995; McCarthy 2002) After around 30 years of development, it is still considered the standard theory of phonological studies at the present time. Through OT analysis, people often can get a better understanding of things going on in phonological process, which might not be possible with other theories. I think that will also be true with the compound rule in Daegu dialect.
