“This is a very important book. Optimality Theory has
transformed the field of linguistics more than almost any other
development of the past half-century, and Prince and Smolensky
started it all.” John J. McCarthy, University of
Massachusetts, Amherst
"OT does not need to permanently influence linguistic theory: it has already done so. Between 1993 and 2004, Prince and Smolensky’s Optimality Theory was by far the most widely circulated manuscript among phonologists. Fortunately, it is now available for a larger audience in this text edition." René Kager, Utrecht University
