Asymmetries in Vowel Harmony - van der Hulst, Harry (Professor of Linguistics, Professor of Linguistics, University of Connecticut)

This book deals with the phenomenon of vowel harmony, a phonological process whereby all the vowels in a word are required to share a specific phonological property. Harry van der Hulst puts forward a new theory of vowel harmony, which accounts for the patterns of and exceptions to this phenomenon in the widest range of languages ever considered.
