Abstract:

This handbook provides a detailed account of the phenomenon of vowel
harmony, a pattern according to which all vowels within a word must
agree for some phonological property or properties. Vowel harmony has
been central in the development of phonological theories thanks to its
cluster of remarkable properties, notably its typically 'unbounded'
character and its non-locality, and because it forms part of the
phonology of most world languages. The five parts of this volume cover
all aspects of vowel harmony from a range of theoretical and
methodological perspectives. Part I outlines the types of vowel
harmony and some unusual cases, before Part II explores structural
issues such as vowel inventories, the interaction of vowel harmony and
morphological structure, and locality. The chapters in Part III
provide an overview of the various theoretical accounts of the
phenomenon, as well as bringing in insights from language acquisition
and psycholinguistics, while Part IV focuses on the historical life
cycle of vowel harmony, looking at topics such as phonetic factors and
the effect of language contact. The final part contains 31 chapters
that present data and analysis of vowel harmony across all major
language families as well as several isolates, constituting the
broadest coverage of the phenomenon to date.
