This dissertation examines the phenomenon of vowel loss within an Optimality Theory (Correspondence) framework which posits a maximally general anti-vowel constraint, *V, an instantiation of the *STRUC family of constraints, and in which the deleting effects of *V are taken to be curbed and counterbalanced by a number of other OT constraints requiring the presence of vowels in output forms, chief among them MAX-IO-V. The approach attempts to provide a view of vowel loss which stresses the dynamics and interactions among key rankable constraints representing cross-linguistic phonological primitives.

520 $a This dissertation examines the phenomenon of vowel loss within an Optimality Theory (Correspondence) framework which posits a maximally general anti-vowel constraint, *V, an instantiation of the *STRUC family of constraints, and in which the deleting effects of *V are taken to be curbed and counterbalanced by a number of other OT constraints requiring the presence of vowels in output forms, chief among them MAX-IO-V. The approach attempts to provide a view of vowel loss which stresses the dynamics and interactions among key rankable constraints representing cross-linguistic phonological primitives.
520 $a The particular approach to be employed in the work is proposed in a general and illustrative way in the first chapter and then is applied in succeeding chapters to various sets of data. The first of these is Latin of both the Classical period and later stages, showing how opposite rankings involving *V in Western and Eastern regions of the Empire gave rise to syncopating vs. nonsyncopating varieties of Romance speech (chapter 2).
520 $a Next the issue of deletion variability among vowels of different heights/sonorities is tackled and a proposal made for accounting for related vowel-loss data by exploding the MAX-IO-V constraint into a family of more specific constraints relativized to the height/sonority of the input vowels (chapter 3).
520 $a Remaining individual chapters of the dissertation focus on syncope and final-syllable vowel loss data attested in Gallo-Roman and Old French (chapter 4) and in Old Spanish (chapter 5), and on vowel-loss patterns in two syncopating dialects of Basque, Salacenco and Bortzerrieta (chapter 6). Throughout, an OT analysis of the data is offered, which takes the varying details of vowel loss in the range of languages/dialects examined as stenuning from different rankings of *V vis-a-vis other important constraints on syllable and metrical structure, so that in some instances we observe vowel loss which is quite restrained and "orderly," whereas in other cases, when *V comes to outrank some of the other constraints, we witness vowel loss which becomes drastic in its repercussions on the resulting output structures.
