Abstract

This paper discusses the reconstruction of the Elamite languages phonology from its orthography using the Gradual Learning Algorithm, which was re-purposed to learn underlying phonological forms from surface orthography. Practical issues are raised regarding the difficulty of mapping between orthography and phonology, and Optimality Theorys neglected Lexicon Optimization module is highlighted.
