Kang, Seok-keun & Gao, Ying Ying. 2017. Segment Deletion and Blocking Triggered by Suffixation in English: An Optimality Theoretic Approach. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 42-2, 121-134. This paper discusses segment deletion and blocking effects triggered by suffixation in English from the perspective of Optimality Theory. First, considering both stem-final rime deletion and blocking of suffixation, we argue that the two seemingly different phenomena can be given a unified account by using the Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP). That is, when suffixation creates a string of syllables with identical onsets, stem-final rime is deleted in conformity with the constraint. We also show that suffixation is blocked where the resulting form violates the OCP. Finally, addressing stem-final vowel deletion induced by vowel-initial suffixes, we claim that the vowel deletion applies as a repair strategy to avoid violation of the markedness constraint No Vowel Hiatus, which rules out two adjacent vowels across a syllable boundary.
