An Optimality Theoretic (OT) grammar arises from the comparison of candidates over a set of constraints, oriented toward obtaining certain of those candidates as optimal. Considerable progress has been made in understanding the internal structure of OT grammars. The typology of a specified system collects its grammars, encompassing all total domination orders among the posited constraints.
Comparison is once again central: a constraint viewed at the typological level turns out to rate entire grammars against each other. Here we move up a level, from grammar to typology, probing the structure that emerges from the most basic commitments of the theory. From this perspective, the constraint goes beyond its familiar role as an engine of comparison based on quantitative penalties and instead takes the form of a more abstract order and equivalence structure.
This we call an EPO, an
