In Tamil, coronals are licensed in onsets and initial syllables, exemplifying what Jesney (2011b) calls Licensing in Multiple Contexts (LMC). Jesney shows that while only positional faithfulness produces LMC in Optimality Theory, positional licensing provides a competing analysis of LMC in Harmonic Grammar (HG). This suggests that positional faithfulness may not be necessary in HG. We argue, though, that positional faithfulness remains essential. First, other facts in Tamil are incompatible with the positional licensing approach to LMC, rendering the positional faithfulness alternative the only viable analysis. Second, only with positional faithfulness can certain typological generalizations concerning assimilation between consonants be captured.

和声语法中的位置信度

在泰米尔语中,冠词在声母和初始音节中得到许可,这就是 Jesney (2011b) 所说的多语境许可 (LMC) 的例子。Jesney 表明,虽然在最优性理论中只有位置忠实度会产生 LMC,但位置许可提供了对谐波语法 (HG) 中 LMC 的竞争分析。这表明在 HG 中可能不需要位置忠诚。但是,我们认为,位置上的忠诚仍然是必不可少的。首先,泰米尔语中的其他事实与 LMC 的位置许可方法不相容,使得位置忠诚度替代方案成为唯一可行的分析。其次,只有在位置忠实的情况下,才能捕捉到有关辅音之间同化的某些类型学概括。
