On vowel harmony and vowel reduction

2014
This paper examines vowel reduction and vowel harmony in disyllabic nouns of Yukuben, Mòoré and German. Morphologically, all nouns under consideration have a stem and a number + gender marker.

Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, 1957
Twi in this paper means Akuapem, Akyem, and Asante. For these three dialects V(owel) H(armony) can be stated in almost identical terms.

Kikuyu vowel harmony

South African Journal of African Languages, 2000
