Maximum Entropy Grammar

Maximum Entropy Grammar is a probabilistic optimization framework within phonological theory that, as a member of the class of grammatical models in Optimality Theory, distinguishes itself by assigning grammaticality probabilities to output candidates through a log-linear distribution based on weighted constraint violations, thereby integrating stochasticity and gradient acceptability into a traditionally categorical constraint-ranking system.
