4. Ranking Arguments, based on the Fusional Reduction Algorithm
This run sought to obtain the Skeletal Basis, intended to keep each final ranking argument as pithy as possible.
The final rankings obtained are as follows:
| Head is initial >> *A-Span(F) | |
| *A-Span(F) >> *A | |
| Head(p) >> *A-Span(F) | |
| Head(nasal) >> *A-Span(F) | |
| FthHdSp(+nasal) >> *A-Span(F) |
5. Mini-Tableaux
The following small tableaux may be useful in presenting ranking arguments. They include all winner-rival comparisons in which there is just one winner-preferring constraint and at least one loser-preferring constraint. Constraints not violated by either candidate are omitted.
