This paper examines the role of domain of application of phonological and morphological processes in one language, Nuuchahnulth. The paper argues that the various processes encountered in the language are best understood as involving a division of labor between the stem level and the word level domains. One consequence of this conclusion is that a mono-stratal, non-derivational model of the grammar, such as standard Optimality Theory (OT) is unsuited to the task of dealing with such cases. In this paper I argue that we must adopt a model which allows at least a constrained amount of derivation, such as the model of Stratal OT, as in Bermúdez-Otero(1999), Kiparsky(2000), et al.
