Stress and length in Hixkaryana

An Optimality Theory analysis of the stress and length patterns of Hixkaryana is criticized. The analysis is shown to predict incorrect results for certain words, and is shown to be incompatible with the standard Optimality Theory account of acquisition. A rule-based account of Hixkaryana is offered and is shown to be superior to the Optimality Theory account.
