words. In order to match the proportion of alternating stops in each place, both alternatingand non-alternating words will need to be tracked.Imagine a learner that has learned just two paradigms, amaÙ∼ amaÃ-1 and sepet ∼sepet-i. While one alternates and the other doesn’t, no inconsistency is detected yet, sinceIDENT(voice) interacts with two different markedness constraints (43).(43)IDENT(voice) *VtV *VÙVa. amaÃ-1 ≻ amaÙ-1 L Wb. sepet-i ≻ seped-i W LRunning RCD on (43) yields the clone-free grammar *VÙV ≫ IDENT(voice) ≫ *VtV.If the speaker learns the word anaÙ∼ anaÙ-1, however, the grammar becomes inconsistent(44).(44)IDENT(voice) *VtV *VÙVa. amaÃ-1 ≻ amaÙ-1 L Wb. anaÙ-1 ≻ anaÃ-1 W Lc. sepet-i ≻ seped-i W LSince there are no columns in (44) that don’t have L’s in them, RCD stalls. Cloningeither *VÙV or IDENT(voice) can resolve the inconsistency. In this case, *VÙV is chosensince its column has the least number of non-empty cells (choosing a constraint to clonebased on the number of non-empty cells is discussed in §4.2). The result of cloning *VÙVis shown below:49
(45)ID(voice) *VtV *VÙV amaÙ *VÙV anaÙa. amaÃ-1 ≻ amaÙ-1 L Wb. anaÙ-1 ≻ anaÃ-1 W Lc. sepet-i ≻ seped-i W LInstalling *VÙV amaÙ removes the first winner-loser pair. This leaves IDENT(voice) withno L’s in its column, so it is installed, and the last two winner-loser pairs are removed.Then, *VtV and *VÙV anaÙ are installed, yielding the ranking in (46).(46) *VÙV amaÙ ≫ IDENT(voice) ≫ *VtV, *VÙV anaÙThe resulting grammar has successfully partitioned the data available to the learner:Lexical items that end in Ù are listed with the two clones of *VÙV, and the t-final noun wasnot listed, since t-final nouns behave consistently in this limited set of data.Cloning of *VtV will only become necessary once the speaker encounters a word withan alternating t, e.g. kanat ∼ kanad-1 ‘wing’, as in (47). Note that whenever the speakerlearns a new paradigm, information about constraint conflicts may change; therefore,constraint cloning always starts from square one with the addition of a new winner-loserpair.50
