research should be shared. here are some of my attempts to do that. if there's anything you want which isn't linked, write and ask me for it. the further back this goes, the less complete it gets. some of my articles can be found at lingbuzz or the rutgers optimality archive or nordlyd. otherwise, the list goes approximately in reverse chronological order. you can find my dissertation here.

... the introduction for the book modeling ungrammaticality in optimality theory,

... editing the other papers for that same book,
