Consonant Harmony via Correspondence: Evidence from Chumash
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hansson (2001), Rose & Walker (2004), and Walker (2000a, 2000b) have recently proposed that long-distance consonant assimilation is accomplished via segmental correspondence rather than autosegmental linking. The phonology of the feature [anterior] in Chumash supports this idea: linking of the feature [anterior] is forbidden across morpheme boundaries, but long-distance [anterior] harmony is allowed across morpheme boundaries. The Chumash evidence therefore shows that assimilation can occur without autosegmental spreading.

Consonant-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 کاملDissimilation by Correspondence in Sundanese
The Agreement-By-Correspondence framework (=‘ABC’) is a theory of agreement developed (by Walker 2000a,b, Hansson 2001, and especially Rose & Walker 2004) to explain long-distance consonant harmony: patterns where non-adjacent consonants agree with each other, but do not interact with the other material that intervenes between them. In ABC, the basis for this agreement is Surface Correspondence...
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...
متن کاملVowel 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 کاملUnstable surface correspondence as the source of local conspiracies
In this paper, we address parallelisms between local and long-distance effects in segmental phonology, focusing on the similarity conditions that trigger them. We take the view that both local and long-distance harmony and disharmony are consequences of segmental correspondence—namely, unstable surface correspondence—as modeled in Agreement by Correspondence theory (henceforth ABC; e.g., Walker...
