>And what is that foundation that it allowed you to put BUT
Do you think I am advocating against studying individual languages? You realize this is not an either/or question, right? What is your agenda?

>Give me an actual example
Sorry but you are just going full retard here. You want me to give you an example of an impossible structure from an actual language. Top kek.
I gave you an example of an impossible process in the vowel harmony I described.
It would be impossible in any language, but since you want an actual language imagine how it could be a process in Hungarian, Turkish or English. Now notice how its not a process in any of these languages nor any other documented language.
I am not going to spoon feed you, I gave you literally all the info you needed. You clearly haven't read the paper, why should I convince you of it's usefulness.

Again give me one argument why you think OT is not worth pursuing, show me one language that violates the constraints I described to you and I'll be happy to respond. Otherwise GTFO.
