ABSTRACT

In this paper I would like to model both a counter bleeding relation and a derivational environments and also to insist that the opacity of t-palatalization in Korean should be determined by whether or not applying the precedence constraint. Because the /t/ in the morpheme internal /ti/ sequence had not been palatalized before /i/, the derived environment effect was emerged in Korean; /mati/ → [mɑdi], *[mɑči]. The OI approach showed that OT-CC approach was more economical than the rule based methods in the modelling of the opacity. In the traditional SPE both a counterbleeding and a counterfeeding relation were easily explained by assuming the rule ordering in the process of derivation to the surface. However the rule ordering in itself could not explain the derived environment effects. This approach would like to make explaining the different kind of processes by depending on the different formal devices. On the contrary OT-CC had not need of these two different mechanism.
