Abstract This chapter provides an overview of vowel harmony in Bantu languages, evaluating the different types of vowel-height harmony systems and the dominance of the root in triggering height harmony. Height harmony in five-vowel systems involving front-height harmony and usually asymmetric back-height harmony is the most ...

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 ...

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.

Kalabari Ijo has a restricted vowel co-occurrence pattern which derives from the operation of two types of harmonies : tongue root harmony and back harmony. It also shows a combination of characteristics associated with these independent harmonies: disharmonic low vowel /a/ in the ATR harmony and disharmonic high vowels and height dependence in the ...

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.

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 ...

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

Vowel harmony, neutral vowels and autosegmental theory
Lingua, 1986Abstract A revision of McCarthy's analysis of Montaiies vowel harmony is proposed in which autosegmental tiers constitute a separate dimension of the representation whose feature specifications can be given independently. Segments which do not undergo harmony (including neutral vowels) are specified on the segmental tier and are not affected when a ...

Abstract This short chapter surveys phonological and morphosyntactic parameters conditioning cross-word vowel harmony (VH) and illustrates select parameters by providing details of the VH systems of Gua, Vata, Kinande, Somali, and Wolof.
