The purpose of this paper is to examine the underapplication opacity in Selayarese, which results from the correlation between stress assignment and vowel insertion. For this, after classifying the stress assignment in Selayarese, we will present the opacity problem in Selayarese. Opacity has been a challenge to standard Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolensky 1993) since it does not allow intermediate strata of derivation. Local Conjunction (Smolensky 1993; Kirchner 1996), Multi-stratal Evaluation (Itô & Mester 2003), and Sympathy Theory (McCarthy 1999; McCarthy 2003) have been proposed to deal with the opacity. But there are also problems in them. To resolve the problems in the said methods, this paper will try to solve the opacity problems by employing the new account of McCarthy s (2006a-d, 2007) Optimality Theory with Candidate Chains (OT-CC). Based on OT-CC, this paper investigates and analyzes the opacity, supporting the superiority of OT-CC.
