Abstract

La Grammaire Universelle contient des listes organisees hierarchiquement de contraintes sur les co-occurences de traits, incluant les specifications marquees, qui caracterisent certaines configurations de traits comme etant phonologiquement complexes. Si une specification marquee est active dans une langue, le segment identifie est rejeter. Quand un locuteur rencontre un tel segment il utilise des procedures de simplification pour reparer la configuration de ce segment. Les specifications marquees fournissent les bases pour la definition des traits marque et contrastif
