Book Description
I elicited speech errors by experiments and analysed them to see what they reveal about vowel harmony (VH). The basic question is whether VH helps Turkish speakers to learn an artificial language system. The question of whether the subjects learned VH was tested in three ways: first, the diversity and quantity of their speech errors; second, by the test phase and third by analyzing the words subjects remembered. The results revealed that subjects preserved the system they were trained on even in their speech errors. There were certain patterns in the speech errors of both harmony and disharmony subjects. This underlies the finding that as long as there is a pattern (whether harmony or disharmony) in the artificial language system, subjects were able to learn it. The backness/rounding harmony subjects were more successful than other groups. It was observed that height harmony was more difficult for Turkish subjects compared to backness/rounding harmony. But the results of the mixed condition subjects reveal that even vowel disharmony was easier than a lack of pattern. The results point out to the fact that VH is a property that facilitates both production and perception.

Issues in Vowel Harmony
Author: Robert M. Vago
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027283184
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Vowel harmony is a well known phonological phenomenon found in a large number of languages spoken mainly in Eurasia and the African continent. In simple terms, vowel harmony is a law which governs the co-occurrence of vowels within a span of utterance, nearly always the word. The contributions of this volume focus on various (not always uncontroversial) aspects of vowel harmony that include typological investigations, phonetic/acoustic experimental studies, descriptions of individual systems, genetic and historical ramifications, and implications for a variety of theoretical models. This volume will prove to be a useful guide to the multifaceted issues posed by an often discussed and quite significant phonological process. This volume will stimulate further discussion and better understanding of the issues raised by the intricate process called vowel harmony.

Pages : 970
Book Description
The Handbook of Phonological Theory, second edition offers an innovative and detailed examination of recent developments in phonology, and the implications of these within linguistic theory and related disciplines. Revised from the ground-up for the second edition, the book is comprised almost entirely of newly-written and previously unpublished chapters Addresses the important questions in the field including learnability, phonological interfaces, tone, and variation, and assesses the findings and accomplishments in these domains Brings together a renowned and international contributor team Offers new and unique reflections on the advances in phonological theory since publication of the first edition in 1995 Along with the first edition, still in publication, it forms the most complete and current overview of the subject in print

This work offers phonologists new evidence that viewing vowel harmony through the lens of relativized minimality has the potential to unify different levels of linguistic representation and different domains of empirical inquiry in a unified framework.
