16th century french final schwa: from variation to diachrony, an OT modelling

Slides of the presentation I gave at the Atelier de Phonologie of the SFL-lab.

This is not a final publication, but a work in progress. I know there's a problem with one of the OT constraints: Max(σ) is a faithfulness constraint but its formulation (on slide 38) looks like a markedness constraint. I'll fix it in later publication. The slides are exactly as they were for the seminar.
