Kang, Hyunsook. 1997. Rule Ordering and Optimality Theory. Studies in Phonetics, Phonology and Morphology 3, 57-76. Lakoff (1993) argues that phonological rules in Yawelmani should be ordered to one another and therefore, that three phonological levels are motivated not only for theoretical reasons but for empirical reasons. In this paper, I examine phonological rules in Yawelmani and attempt to dispense with three phonological levels suggested in Lakoff (1993). (Hanyang University)
