Extract

In a recent paper Kiparsky 1971 has proposed the notion of rule opacity to account for certain phenomena which eluded explanation under earlier formulations utilizing such concepts as feeding and bleeding. While I feel that Kiparsky’s proposal is basically sound, there are a few minor problems associated with the concept of rule opacity as postulated by Kiparsky. I will deal with these problems in this paper.
