Theoretical Advances in the Field: Constraints-based approaches N2 - This paper explores super additivity effects in natural language by considering three interrelated phenomena in Colloquial Bambara (CB). The premise of super additivity is that although marked structures are accommodated in a system, particular structures cannot co-occur in a given domain. This arises because the simultaneous, additive violation of constraints within a domain arguably incurs an additional penalty. Thus, languages may limit the number of phonologically complex structures in a domain ER -
