The symbiosis between perception and grammar in loanword phonology (2006, background): “…epenthesis of one vowel could create a new legal final closed syllable, and should also suffice, but deletion occurs instead: (2) Suppose these stops are perceived, but a low priority is placed on their retention, proportional to their perceptibility (Steriade, 2001; Wilson, 2001; Shinohara, 2004).”
OT constraints are categorical (2003, background): “Like other constraint schemata in the literature (e.g. McCarthy & Prince 1993a, Smolensky 1995, Eisner 1999, Baković & Wilson 2000, Wilson 2000, 2001, Potts & Pullum 2002, Smith 2002), this one does not obviate the need for other formal or substantive limits on what constraints are possible.”
The gradual path to cluster simplification* (2008, background): “The situation is not so dire, however, since Wilson (2001: 171–173) is careful to show that targeted N O W EAK C ONS still allows for an analysis of languages that avoid clusters by vowel epenthesis rather than reduction.”
Reduplication in Harmonic Serialism (2012, unknown): “Extant proposals for solving this problem require a level of representation where both members of the cluster are present and syllabified as coda and onset (McCarthy 2008a, 2011; Steriade 2001/2008; Wilson 2000, 2001).”
Positional Faithfulness, Non-locality, and the Harmonic Serialism Solution (2011, background): “…syllabified as an onset, this initial syllabification will ensure that its [+voice] feature is preserved in the output even if the segment is subsequently resyllabified as a coda due to affixation, truncation, syncope, or some other process (see Benua 1997 and Wilson 2001 for relevant discussion).”
