Equiprobable mappings in weighted constraint grammars

SCiL 2020  ·  Arto Anttila, Scott Borgeson, Giorgio Magri ·

We show that MaxEnt is so rich that it can distinguish between any two different mappings: there always exists a nonnegative weight vector which assigns them different MaxEnt probabilities. Stochastic HG instead does admit equiprobable mappings and we give a complete formal characterization of them. We compare these different predictions of the two frameworks on a test case of Finnish stress.
