Opacity (Kiparsky 1973a: 79)
A phonological rule P of the form A→B / C D is opaque ifthere are surface structures with either of the following characteristics:
a. instances of A in the environment C D. (Counterfeeding)
b. instances of B derived by P that occur in environmentsother than C D. (Counterbleeding)

Specific Assumptions
u Hierarchical Nonlinear Representations: combining ProsodicPhonology and Feature Geometry
u Colors: Each morpheme has a unique color characterizing all of itsunderlying nodes and association lines and distinguishing underlyingfrom epenthetic (‘colorless’ material)
u Radical Containment: No erasure of association lines↔ markingassociation lines as invisible is the only counterpart to deletionoperation in non-containment approaches

Containment Theory and Cloning Constraint Cloning
The Cloning Hypothesis
Every markedness constraint exists in 2 incarnations:
The general clone refers to all structure in I
The phonetic clone refers only to structure in P
(cf. Cloning in Correspondence Theory, McCarthy & Prince 1995)

Containment Theory and Cloning Constraint Cloning
Cloning NoSkipping
(1) NoSkippingAssign ∗ to every segmental root node, which is skipped by anassociation span connecting segments in I.
(2) NoSkippingAssign ∗ to every segmental root node, which is skipped by anassociation span connecting segments in P.

Summary: Full containment
u can predict some of the pa�erns that are problematic forContainmentCloning
u but overgenerates:
• Hellendorn Dutch’ and Finnish’ are not a�ested• Lardil: the final vowel deletion is only found in the nominative and ishence not phonological at all (Hale, 1973; McCarthy and Prince, 1993;Horwood, 2001; Bye, 2006; Round, 2011); cf. Staroverov (2015) forcounterarguments against this claim
