It shows that the T-orders predicted by stochastic (and partial order) Optimality Theory coincide with those predicted by categorical OT. Analogously, the T-orders predicted by stochastic Harmonic Grammar coincide with those predicted by categorical HG. In other words, these stochastic constraint-based frameworks do not tamper with the typological structure induced by the original categorical frameworks. %R 10.18653/v1/D18-1364 %U https://aclanthology.org/D18-1364 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/D18-1364 %P 3265-3274
