Optimality Theory

Optimality Theory (OT) is a constraint-based framework for modeling phonology and syntax, developed by Alan Prince and Paul Smolensky in 1993. The core idea is that languages produce the optimal output that best satisfies a ranked hierarchy of universal constraints. Rather than listing rules, OT explains linguistic phe

Data Saturation in Qualitative Research

Data saturation is a foundational principle in qualitative research describing the point at which data collection yields no new themes, codes, or insights—additional data becomes redundant. Introduced by Glaser and Strauss (1967) in their work on grounded theory, saturation guides decisions about sample size and when t
