While Optimality Theory is a popular framework for modeling phonology, it is known to generate non-finite-state mappings and languages. This paper demonstrates that Optimality Theory is capable of generating non-context-free languages, contributing to the characterization of its generative capacity. This is achieved with minimal modification to the theory as it is standardly employed. %R 10.1162/tacl_a_00382 %U https://aclanthology.org/2021.tacl-1.32 %U https://doi.org/10.1162/tacl_a_00382 %P 528-537
