Summary

Chapter 10 provides an overview of some of the OT constraints introduced in the book and their rankings. It is shown here that groups of constraints are responsible for parts of the prosodic structure (e.g., the syllable). Some of the constraints introduced in the book play a role at several levels of the hierarchy, especially those regulating the syllable, the foot and the prosodic word.
