Exceptionality in Assamese vowel harmony: A phonological account

open access: yesGlossa, 2020
The complex pattern of exceptionality in Assamese vowel harmony is taken to be one of the strong empirical arguments for an OT-system with lexically indexed constraints that are locally restricted (e.g. Mahanta 2008; 2012; Pater 2010).

We speak of vowel harmony when there is a general condition that demands that all vowels within a certain domain, usually the word, must agree in one or more than one phonological property. This condition is manifested in the facts that vowels within morphemes display agreement and that, when morphemes are combined into complex words, all vowels of ...

Noon vowel harmony

open access: yes, 2020
Noon vowel harmony shows the remarkable property of invariance in the affixes while exposing ATR variation in roots only. We show that the ATR harmony is no longer active and that the variation in stems due to dominant suffixes is best analysed as lexical stem variants for different derivational suffixes.
