This paper gives a computational characterisation of opaque interactions in phonology. Specifically, a range of opaque interactions are shown to be Input Strictly Local (ISL) maps (Chandlee 2014), which are string-to-string functions that determine output based only on contiguous sequences of input symbols. Examples from Baković’s (2007) extended typology of counterfeeding, counterbleeding, self-destructive feeding, non-gratuitous feeding and cross-derivational feeding, as well as a case of fed counterfeeding from Kavitskaya & Staroverov (2010), are all given ISL analyses, which show that these interactions can be computed based on sequences of bounded length in the input. It is discussed how ISL maps are restrictive in their typological predictions, have guaranteed learning results and known methods for generation and recognition, and thus compare favourably to rule-based and constraint-based approaches to these interactions.

“…110 The musical is also about the nature of fame. 111 With its themes of political and economic instability, Evita fits neatly into the context in which it was created. The political situation in mid-1970s Britain was what theatre critic Michael Coveney termed "volatile" largely due to the weak Labour government's inability to stabilize the stock market.…”

Harmonizing with the cosmos : a critical analysis of cosmic symbolism in musical theatre

Humankind has long possessed a fascination with the cosmos and the cosmic bodies they can see from their earthly home. Overtime humans began to associate deities with the cosmic bodies, and religions developed to explain the cosmos and humans' place within it. Early humans created artifacts, using the imagery of cosmic bodies to mark the passage of time and to symbolize their relationship to the cosmos. When they began writing, this use of the cosmic bodies appeared in their literary works and in the works of Ancient Greek and Roman playwrights, William Shakespeare, Arthur Miller, and Thornton Wilder, among many others. Musical theatre, integrated into a unique theatre genre in the mid-twentieth century, similarly followed this impulse to use cosmic bodies to elucidate character and themes. The relationship of these instances, however, to the long traditional symbolic use of cosmic symbolism in Western thought and the ways in which the cosmic symbolism reveals character traits has been largely overlooked in musical theatre scholarship. This analysis contributes the first book-length study investigating cosmic symbolism in selected, representative musicals that span the time period from the American Golden Age through the present. Aided by available scholarship from the fields of astrology, anthropology, psychology, semiotics, religious studies, and philosophy this study aims to increase understanding of how cosmic symbolism functions within representative musical theatre works and what that symbolism reveals about humans' interactions with the cosmos.

In this article, we identify Strict Locality as a strong computational property of a certain class of phonological maps from underlying to surface forms. We show that these maps can be modeled with Input Strictly Local functions, a previously undefined class of subregular relations. These functions extend the conception of locality from the Strictly Local formal languages (recognizers/acceptors) ( McNaughton and Papert 1971 , Rogers and Pullum 2011 , Rogers et al. 2013 ) to maps (transducers/functions) and therefore formalize the notion of phonological locality. We discuss the insights such computational properties provide for phonological theory, typology, and learning.
