Iterativity
Iterative processes are self-feeding, creating the contexts for their own reapplication. A persistent question is whether phonological processes are ontologically iterative, or if phonological processes may be non-iterative. My research explores the reality of non-iterative phonological processes and their import for phonological theory.
