How morphological is Hungarian vowel harmony?

چکیده
There is a significant degree of phonological indeterminacy in front/back harmony Hungarian (HVH), which manifests itself lexical variation and/or vacillation. Harmonic behaviour the zone strongly supports hypothesis that harmonic classes individual roots belong to are organized as paradigmatic system, very similar inflectional classes. Such lexically determined declension required independently vowel account for various other conditioned alternations Hungarian, e.g., involving linking vowels suffixes and yod 3rd person possessives. A further evidence morphologisation HVH paradigm uniformity effect, Uniformity, reduces uncertainty by making stem’s predictable from its root. Thus, morphology (paradigmatic uniformity) addition (and sometimes overriding) phonology.

Hungarian Vowel Harmony
A system of phonological rules and representations has at least two aims: one is to describe the way in which words (and larger stretches of utterances) are realized in speech, and to state which logically possible streams of speech sounds are legitimate in the language under description – this is part of observational adequacy. The other aim is to capture the pattern of sounds characteristic o...
متن کاملStochastic phonological knowledge: the case of Hungarian vowel harmony
In Hungarian, stems ending in a back vowel plus one or more neutral vowels show unusual behaviour: for such stems, the otherwise general process of vowel harmony is lexically idiosyncratic. Particular stems can take front suffixes, take back suffixes or vacillate. Yet at a statistical level, the patterning among these stems is lawful: in the aggregate, they obey principles that relate the prope...
متن کاملIs Hungarian Losing the Vowel Quantity Distinction?
The Hungarian vowel system is traditionally regarded as quantity-based. In such languages, length is primarily realised as a durational difference with little or no distinction in vowel quality. In this paper, we argue that the various types of interrelationship between quantity and quality have an impact on the target configuration of short and long vowels, and that quantity distinction is not...
متن کاملLearning Vowel Harmony
It is possible to construct an unsupervised learning system for vowel harmony, which makes accessible general-isations. Furthermore, such a learning system can be constructed with little built-in knowledge, and, consequently, be applicable to data from a wide range of domains. This paper presents a learning system which fulllls these criteria, and examines the results of applying an implementat...
متن کاملVerifying Vowel Harmony Typologies
This paper applies finite state technologies to verify the typological validity of Turbid Spreading, a theory of vowel harmony in Optimality Theory (OT) (Prince & Smolensky, 1993/2004). Previous analyses of vowel harmony in OT have been prone to typological inconsistencies, predicting grammars that do not occur in natural language (Wilson, 2003). However, attempts to eliminate typological patho...
