Vowel harmony in Nez Perce and Korean. Song, Jung-Sook. Pulleyblank, D., Language, Linguistics. In this study, I will try to show that vowel harmony in Nez Perce and Korean can be described as a (-ATR) spreading rule. The assumption that the harmonizing feature is (-ATR) is based on Hall and Hall (1980) in the case of Nez Perce, and on Hwang's formant analysis (1983) in the case of Korean. By using radical underspecification and a hierarchical theory of feature structure as the framework of analysis, vowel harmony will be described as a feature spreading rule: spread (-ATR), and the transparency of neutral vowels in the harmonizing process will be accounted for. On the other hand, I will show that in Korean there was a historical change in the type and nature of vowel harmony. 2009-03-20T20:22:07Z 2009-03-20T20:22:07Z 1990 1990 Thesis Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 30-03, page: 0475. 9780315623361 http://hdl.handle.net/10393/5841 http://dx.doi.org/10.20381/ruor-14561 106 p. application/pdf University of Ottawa (Canada)
