Bibliography on Optimality Theory and Language Change

The following is an attempt at a comprehensive listing of works treating language change from an Optimality-Theoretic perspective, although given the rapid growth in this area of research, it will no doubt fall short. Besides coming from my own research, contributions have been gathered from individual subscribers to the electronic Optimality discussion list, whom I gratefully acknowledge, and from the Rutgers Optimality Archive(http://roa.rutgers.edu). I offer my sincere apologies to any authors whose works I have failed to include.
