The problem of the interaction between rules and constraints is currently under discussion. In recent work by many authors, we have witnessed the consistent elimination of ordered rules in favor of filters or constraints with considerable gains in simplicity and in explanatory power (cf. Clements and Keyser 1983; Prince 1984; Kiparsky 1985; Itô 1986; Archangeli and Pulleyblank 1986; Mascaró 1989; Scobbie 1991; Myers 1991). Some of this work has already provided evidence that deletion and epenthesis are processes especially prone to be derived from general principles instead of language specific rules. After Itô (1986), epenthesis and deletion tend to be seen as a fixing mechanism for syllabification and not as the result of a rule introducing or deleting a segment.The different declarative approaches to phonology (Coleman 1991; Bird 1990; etc.), all agree in that deletion of structure or of phonological material has to be banned from the set of processes allowed in phonology. This approach is against the usage of any destructive process. From this point of view all we are able to do is to add new phonological material or structure to an unspecified unit but never delink, delete, or substitute.
