The priest stressed the importance of faithfulness in marriage.
Constraints militate against structural configurations (markedness constraints) or non-identical mappings (faithfulness constraints).
These are the constraints that mandate surface faithfulness between the segments resulting from decomposition.
Yawelmani, then, challenges this prediction of sympathy theory : processes that produce identical faithfulness violations should act together in rendering a third process opaque.
The idea is that markedness or faithfulness constraints referring to a feature class are gradient over the members of that class.
It is when faithfulness constraints must be violated that the lower ranked constraint becomes visible.
There are distinct, separately ranked sympathetic faithfulness constraints on these two correspondence relations.
Candidates (b) and (c) each incur one violation of an undominated constraint, with the choice being passed down to the lower ranked faithfulness constraints.
This view derails the sympathy-theoretic analysis, since the crucial count of faithfulness violations becomes impossible.
