Lee, Minkyung. “A Serial OT Approach to English Consonantal Harmony.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 42.4 (2016): 263-292. This paper aims to provide a serial OT approach to English consonantal harmony in a word/phrase or across a morpheme boundary under the architecture of Harmonic Serialism (HS). Assimilation as featural spreading in Autosegmental Phonology can be established by two mechanisms in Optimality Theoretic Grammar; long-distance Align and local Agree. However, as identified in previous literature, pro-spreading markedness constraints such as Align and Agree have implausible typological predictions, thus they are not a sound basis for the phonology of harmony. The target data dealt with here are well-known English featural agreement of place, manner and voicing found in colloquial speech whereby two agreeing segments become similar or identical. Without resorting to Align or Agree under parallelism, Share[F] approach to harmony is quite straightforward to the analyses of harmony with no analytic chaos. Given the premise of gradualness in harmonic improvement under serialism, consonant cluster simplification or schwa syncope precedes place of articulation assimilation while degemination follows manner of articulation assimilation.

Abstract

Lee, Minkyung. “A Serial OT Approach to English Consonantal Harmony.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 42.4 (2016): 263-292. This paper aims to provide a serial OT approach to English consonantal harmony in a word/phrase or across a morpheme boundary under the architecture of Harmonic Serialism (HS). Assimilation as featural spreading in Autosegmental Phonology can be established by two mechanisms in Optimality Theoretic Grammar; long-distance Align and local Agree. However, as identified in previous literature, pro-spreading markedness constraints such as Align and Agree have implausible typological predictions, thus they are not a sound basis for the phonology of harmony. The target data dealt with here are well-known English featural agreement of place, manner and voicing found in colloquial speech whereby two agreeing segments become similar or identical. Without resorting to Align or Agree under parallelism, Share[F] approach to harmony is quite straightforward to the analyses of harmony with no analytic chaos. Given the premise of gradualness in harmonic improvement under serialism, consonant cluster simplification or schwa syncope precedes place of articulation assimilation while degemination follows manner of articulation assimilation.
