OT learning

This tutorial describes how you can draw Optimality-Theoretic and Harmonic-Grammar tableaus and simulate Optimality-Theoretic and Harmonic-Grammar learning with Praat.

You can read this tutorial sequentially with the help of the “< 1” and “1 >” buttons.

  1. Kinds of grammars (ordinal and stochastic, OTGrammar)
  2. The grammar
  2.1. Viewing a grammar (NOCODA example, OTGrammarEditor)
  2.2. Inside the grammar (saving, inspecting)
  2.3. Defining your own grammar
  2.4. Evaluation (noise)
  2.5. Editing a grammar
  2.6. Variable output (place assimilation example)
  2.7. Tableau pictures (printing, EPS)
  2.8. Asking for one output
  2.9. Output distributions
  3. Generating language data
  3.1. Data from a pair distribution
  3.2. Data from another grammar (tongue-root-harmony example)
  4. Learning an ordinal grammar
  5. Learning a stochastic grammar
  6. Shortcut to grammar learning
  7. Learning from overt forms
