What is the set of possible interactions among the individual maps that constitute a phonological grammar? Pairs of maps interact to the extent that their inputs overlap with each other and/or with each other's outputs. Starting with this observation, we flesh out the full typology of predicted pairwise map interaction types. Formal analysis reveals this typology to be relatively small, consisting of seven interaction types. We present this typology and our formal analysis of it in detail, and also offer formal characterizations of the notions 'underapplication' and 'overapplication', familiar from the literature on phonological opacity, which cross-classify map interaction types.
