Abstract

The notion of constraints is generally used in modern linguistics (in particular in syntax and phonology) for representing properties that an object must satisfy (see [4], [15]). Constraints can be general (or universal), valid for different languages, or at the opposite very specific, representing for example the variability of a given language. In all cases, the idea consists of stipulating properties ruling out structures which don’t belong to the language.
