Summary

Since the early 1990s, Optimality Theory has been the dominant framework in which to carry out research in linguistic theory from a generative perspective, particularly in phonology, with extensions and applications to other domains. A particular strength of this constraint-based framework is that it addresses linguistic universals and is inherently comparative/typological, and optimality-theoretic approaches have provided effective analyses of many phenomena in Spanish, both in isolation and across space (diatopically, dialectology), as well as over time (diachrony), and in language learning (development). This chapter offers an introduction to the working of OT, and reviews a sampling of all its applications in all areas of Spanish/Hispanic linguistics.
