Consonant Harmony : Long-Distance Interactions in Phonology, Paperback / softback Book

Consonant Harmony : Long-Distance Interactions in Phonology Paperback / softback

Part of the UC Publications in Linguistics series

Paperback / softback

Description

This extensive survey of consonant harmony in the world's languages reveals surprising diversity in the featural dimensions involved, and uncovers new empirical generalizations and tendencies.

Striking parallels with phonological speech errors suggest a connection to the psycholinguistic domain of speech planning.

An Optimality Theory analysis of consonant harmony as long-distance featural agreement, rather than feature spreading, is developed in detail.
