Conversely, this contrast is neutralised if these faithfulness constraints are dominated.
The prosodic shape of the base itself may vary, in the event that input-output faithfulness dominates markedness.
Formally, the role of distinctness, and perceptual factors more generally, is encoded in both faithfulness and markedness constraints.
To the extent, then, that certain segments must resist assimilation, those outputs that are shadowspecified represent optimal outputs with respect to both alignment and faithfulness.
Therefore, it is not wholly unexpected that faithfulness might be extended to inter-candidate relations.
The positional faithfulness approach accounts for accented dominant affixes by boosting the faithfulness properties of certain affixes.
This view derails the sympathy-theoretic analysis, since the crucial count of faithfulness violations becomes impossible.
Candidates (b) and (c) each incur one violation of an undominated constraint, with the choice being passed down to the lower ranked faithfulness constraints.
