Transderivational Paradigm Uniformity — Benua 1997 #
@cite{benua-1997}
The paradigm-uniformity face of TCT: provides paradigm-typed
Corr-style API for OO-Faith constraints between a base form and a
derivative form. The asymmetric base-priority discipline lives in
OptimalityTheory/TCT.lean (TCTGrammar structure); this file is the
compositional face — building 3-role correspondence diagrams over
input + base + derivative, and supplying the IDENT-OO and MAX-OO
specializations to the (.base, .derivative) edge.
Compared to siblings #
The four ParadigmUniformity files differ only in their anchoring
discipline on the same Corr.identViol substrate:
| File | Anchoring | Polarity |
|---|---|---|
OptimalParadigms.lean (M 2005) | Symmetric (no anchor) | Positive (Ident) |
LexicalConservatism.lean (Steriade 2000) | Optional attestation anchor | Positive (Ident) |
Transderivational.lean (Benua 1997) | Base-anchored, recursive | Positive (Ident) |
Antifaithfulness.lean (Alderete 2001) | Symmetric or anchored | Negative (¬Ident) |
The architectural distinction of TCT (vs. OP / LC) is not in the
constraint or the lift — it is in the evaluation discipline (recursive
base-priority), which is captured in TCT.TCTGrammar's type signatures.
Form lookup helper: select the form for a TCT role from explicit
input/base/derivative lists.

Instances For
The general TCT diagram constructor: takes the three forms plus an
explicit OO correspondence relation ooEdge ⊆ Fin base.length × Fin derivative.length
(subject to a well-formedness proof).
The (.input, .base) and (.input, .derivative) IO edges are filled
in trivially as the parallel-pair correspondence (one-to-one up to
min length); only the OO edge requires the morphological alignment
that a study file specifies.
This is the load-bearing constructor for paradigmatic phonology
studies that involve infixation, truncation, reduplication, or any
non-identity morphological mapping — the OO edge is not generally
parallel-pair (the singular [ɲĩãr] base maps to non-adjacent
positions in the plural [ɲ-ar-ĩãr]). See
Phenomena/Phonology/Studies/Benua1997.lean for the canonical
Sundanese example.

Instances For
The parallel-pair specialization: when the OO edge is the parallel
(i, i) correspondence up to min base.length derivative.length.
Convenient for cases where base and derivative have no morphological
re-alignment (rare in paradigm phonology — most studies need
diagramWithEdge with an explicit alignment).
Defined via Corr.diagram with off-diagonal edge predicate. The
pre-Stage-2 version reduced to diagramWithEdge with a hand-rolled
parallel-pair edge + length-bounds proof; Corr.diagram makes the
pattern direct.

Instances For
IDENT-OO: featural identity of corresponding base and derivative positions. The load-bearing constraint of @cite{benua-1997}'s misapplication unification — high-ranked IDENT-OO forces overapplication (Sundanese nasal harmony, Ch 3) and underapplication (Tiberian Hebrew spirantization, Ch 4) as duals of one mechanism.
Equations
Instances For
MAX-OO: every base position has a derivative correspondent. Penalizes truncation in the derivative relative to the base.
Equations
Instances For
DEP-OO: every derivative position has a base correspondent. Penalizes epenthesis in the derivative relative to the base.

When the derivative is identical to the base, IDENT-OO is satisfied (zero violations). The "perfect uniformity" baseline — paradigmatic identity is the trivial case where there is nothing to misapply.
