This article presents an overview of several significant aspects the phonology Uyghur (ISO: uig; pronounced [ʊjˈʁʊr]; Turkic: China). In addition to summarising previous research, we present new data and highlight its relevance for phonological theory. The paper focuses primarily on processes backness harmony, rounding vowel reduction. Particular attention is paid complex, sometimes opaque, int...

Research on constraint-based grammar frameworks has focussed on syntax and semantics largely to the exclusion of phonology. Likewise, current developments in phonology have generally ignored the technical and linguistic innovations available in these frameworks. In this paper we suggest some strategies for reuniting phonology and the rest of grammar in the context of a uniform constraint formal...

We introduce the proceedings from the workshop ‘Computing and Historical Phonology: 9th Meeting of the ACL Special Interest Group for Computational Morphology and Phonology’.
