The programm of deriving the descriptive effects of templates from independently required constraints on phonology, morphology, and their interface is called Generalized Template Theory (GTT [...]). The main thesis is that templates are obtained by entirely general constraints "via" the emergence-of-the-unmarked ranking pattern [...]. A structural constraint rendered inactive in the language as a whole because of domination by I-O Faithfulness may nonetheless emerge as visibly active in situations where I-O Faithfulness is not relevant. In particular, it may determine the form of the reduplicant, which is subject to constraints on B-R Identity rather than I-O Faithfulness. The ranking schema that leads to this situation is the following. (40) Skeletal ranking for emergence of the unmarked I-O Faithfulness >> Phono-Constraint >> B-R Identity [...].
