Consonant Harmony : Long-Distance Interactions in Phonology Paperback / softback
by Gunnar Olafur Hansson
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.
