4. Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper deals with an OT-based generator for Interlanguage phonology of Korean speakers of English. Hammond (1997b) insists that OT-based syllabification be made as a parser which does not need to consider epenthesis or deletion.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> However, in order to syllabify Korean accented English, not only epenthesis but also segment modification such as stop voicing/devoicing or stop nasalization should be considered.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> I adopted the basic ideas proposed by Hammond and others: finite candidate set, cyclic CON-EVAL and local encoding. I proposed two templates of candidate sets: one representing syllable positions (onset, nucleus, two nuclei, coda, ambisyllabic coda-onset, onset + epenthesized vowel, and unparsed position), the other representing potential output forms for each segment. Under the basic syllable constraints, the optimal candidates in the syllable position grid are selected. The result is used to generate the potential output segments which can be revised from the original input segments under the constraints basically applicable to Korean phonology.</Paragraph>
