To account for exceptions to e-deletion, I use a lexically specific version of MAX (lexically specific faithfulness introduced to OT in Pater 2000 to account for lexical conditioning of English vowel reduction; see also esp. Ito and Mester 1995 et seq. for applications to lexical conditioning in Japanese) (21) MAX-L Assign a violation mark for every input segment that belongs to lexical item L and that lacks an output correspondent A word like belon (a type of oyster), whose first vowel apparently never undergoes deletion (Angoujard 2006, Eychenne 2007), is distinguished from semaine in terms of the relative ranking of the MAX-L constraint indexed to each of them.
