Last week, the SPOT group presented an organized session on Syntax Prosody in Optimality Theory at the 2021 meeting of the Linguistic Society of America. Junko Ito opened the session with an introduction to the SPOT project. Jennifer Bellik presented a tutorial on how to set up an analysis in SPOT, and Nick Kalivoda, Richard Bibbs, and Nick Van Handel presented theoretical results found using SPOT + OTWorkplace. Armin Mester concluded the session with some remarks on the value of including all candidates in an OT analysis.
Below are links to pdfs of the handouts and slides presented in that session. Thanks to the audience for attending and asking interesting questions!
