| Research Abstract |
Many linguists have attempted to propose linguistic theory, especially the linguistic theory based on the framework of generative grammar. However, little attention has been paid to the details of the linguistic theory from the standpoint of Optimality Theory. Based on Optimality Theory, this study aims at developing the linguistic theory which is much better than the former theory to be able to explain the language faculty by using the interaction of the constraints which are inductively led by the minute synchronic and diachronic analysis of the data of English and other languages.
