This paper investigates the relationship between strictly local phonological processes and strictly local phonotactic constraints. On the theoretical side, I identify phonological rewrite rules that do not produce strictly local output languages and that do not weakly preserve the class of strictly local languages. Empirically, I find that strictly local rules without strictly local output languages are largely absent from the PBase database.
