Abstract

This paper updates the analysis of rhythmic reversal in Axininca with a more economical one using serial/directional evaluation that dispenses with alignment constraints. The serial/directional evaluation is more superior to a parallel/directional counterpart with respect to quantity-sensitivity, as adopting directionally evaluated constraints for parallelism cannot avoid overgeneration problems.
