This article challenges the principle of strict parallelism in Optimality Theory by providing evidence that Duke-of-York derivations, deemed to be impossible by McCarthy (2002), exist in phonology. An analysis of two independent fragments of Polish phonology, chain shifts in velar palatalization and labial fission, shows multiple Duke-of-York effects because segment inventory constraints posit conflicting re- quirements for the well-formedness of outputs at different depths of derivation. It is concluded that Optimality Theory must permit con- straint reranking and admit three derivational levels: two lexical levels and one postlexical level.
