This paper provides an overview of Linear Optimality Theory (LOT), a variant of Optimality Theory (OT) designed for the modeling of gradient acceptability judgment data. We summarize the empirical properties of gradient data that have been reported in the experimental literature, and use them to motivate the design of L OT. We discuss LOT’s notions of constraint competition and optimality, as well as a n ew formulation of ranking argumentation, which makes it possible to apply standard parameter estimation techniques to LOT. Then the LOT model is compared to Standard OT, to Harmonic Grammar, and to recently proposed probabilistic versions of OT.
