Assamese vowels and vowel harmony
Journal of South Asian Languages and Linguistics, 2019AbstractBased on impressionistic and acoustic data, Assamese is described as having a phonological tongue root harmony system, with blocking by certain phonological configurations and over-application in certain morphological contexts. This study explores physical properties of the patterns using ultrasonic imaging to determine whether the ...

Language and Linguistics Compass, 2012AbstractThis article reviews the analysis of vowel harmony in Optimality Theory. Vowel harmony is a phenomenon in which the vowels in a word or another domain show systematic agreement for some property, such as rounding, backness, height, or ATR quality.

On vowel harmony and vowel reduction
2014This 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. The order of these two morphemes, namely stem-final in Yukuben but stem-initial in Mòoré and German, seems to have little effect on the phonological processes ...

Abstract Vowel harmony systems occur in a wide range of Armenian dialects, from Marash in Turkey to Maragha in Iran to Shamaxi in Azerbaijan. These harmonic systems constrain specifications for the feature [back] (and occasionally [round] as well) within two phonological domains: roots and words.

Mid-vowels and vowel harmony in Civili
South African Journal of African Languages, 2006This article highlights the phenomenon of vowel harmony in Civili. The distinctive features of vowels are determined in order to analyze the vowel harmony system, and later to explain the distinction between respective problematic vowels in the vowel system.

This thesis provides a phonological, psycholinguistic and phonetic description of vowel harmony in Canadian French (CF), as well as a theoretical account of the phenomenon showing that the CF facts may only be accounted for in derivational frameworks that include the notion of 'cycle.' CF [ATR] vowel harmony is regressive, optional, and parasitic on ...

Twi in this paper means Akuapem, Akyem, and Asante. For these three dialects V(owel) H(armony) can be stated in almost identical terms. It is in fact so stated by Christaller in the grammar1 but only briefly under ‘Euphony’. We give below some additional notes, approaching the problem somewhat differently.

5. Conclusion This paper describes the system of vowel harmony in Chamorro,' the existence of which has received passing attention in previous studies, but which until now has not been examined carefully for its determining features. Chamorro shows two distinct types of what can generally be termed vowel harmony. The first of these involves fronting at

This article studies the vocalic patterns of distribution and alternation in Kikuyu. The phenomenon of distribution manifests itself in morpheme structure constraints imposed on vowel sequencing within the verbal root, while the effect of alternation is seen within the verbal stem, which displays a productive root-controlled suffixal harmony.
