Harmony via positive agreement: Evidence from trigger-based count effects
نویسنده
چکیده
In most patterns of harmony and assimilation, a single segment triggers harmony to the left or right, until the end of the word or until some intervening blocker. Here, I classify the new subpattern of trigger-based count effects, in which multiple triggers are needed to induce harmony. For example, nasal assimilation in Kazakh requires two triggers: the onset of a suffix assimilates to a nasal-final stem exactly when the suffix also contains a nasal coda.

Vowel Harmony as Agreement by Correspondence
Initially, it was believed that blocking effects1 simply could not be modeled with Agreement by Correspondence (ABC) (Hansson 2001; Rose & Walker 2004). Hansson, in particular, lays out this assumption very clearly: “Intervening segments do not themselves enter into the agreement relation holding between the trigger-target pair, and therefore they must be irrelevant to that relation: they canno...
متن کاملConsonant-Tone Interaction as Agreement by Correspondence
This paper addresses the on-going debate over the distinction between Agreement by Correspondence (Hansson 2001; Rose and Walker 2004; a.o.) and the previously dominant theory of autosegmental feature spreading, focusing on a key conceptual difference between the two theories: the role of similarity as the basis of harmony patterns. It is argued that Agreement by Correspondence’s unique ability...
متن کاملTwo arguments for a positive vowel harmony imperative
In this paper I provide arguments from two case studies in support of Kimper’s (2011) new Trigger Competition approach to vowel harmony, which is based on autosegmental linking and the positively formulated Spread constraint. The first argument is based on Hungarian vacillation, in which sequences of vowels that individually do not participate in backness harmony can conspire to create free var...
متن کاملSurface Correspondence and Discrete Harmony Triggers
In this paper, I examine formal properties of surface correspondence and their empirical predictions for languages with partially overlapping harmony patterns. Surface correspondence was introduced as a basis for enforcing feature agreement and disagreement among segments in an output (Walker 2000a). Originating studies focused on consonant harmony, for which surface correspondence offered insi...
