Native Korean [n]-Insertion has been analyzed both in rule-based and Optimality Theoretical frameworks (Han 1994a, b; Cho 1995 and references therein). In this paper, we show that there is a conspiracy among constraints to trigger [n]-Insertion. We implement the conspiracy for [n]-Insertion in the framework of Optimality Theory, which has not been clearly articulated in in previous analyses. The proposed analysis is different from other analyses in that the proposed set of constraints for [n]-Insertion is more general and explanatory than previous analyses using a language-specific single OT constraint in Cho (1995) and using a single complex rule in Han (1994a, b).
