Feature Sharing, Locality, and Serialism in Gradual Harmony

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Lee, Minkyung. (2018). Feature sharing, locality, and serialism in gradual harmony. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 26(4), 83-102. Feature sharing via Share(F) (originating from McCarthy, 2009) well conforms to the phonology of harmony under Optimality Theory (OT) hinged upon Harmonic Serialism (HS-OT) (McCarthy, 2007, 2009). The target language of Kinyarwanda, a Bantu variety, verifies and supports the fact that harmony from feature sharing improves locally and gradually. Three rules interact and progress step by step: nasal assimilation (NA) triggers obligatory consonant aspiration (CA), which, in turn, feeds nasal devoicing (ND) that is optional. Under HS-OT, the Partially Ordered Constraints (POC) model (Pater, 2007; Kimper, 2008) is required for the optional stage of ND as well as the OCP-related consonant phonotactics for the process of CA. In essence, the idea of feature sharing via Share[F] is quite straightforward to the harmony achieved gradually when two consonants are in strict locality. Furthermore, the POC model is well-couched into the architecture of HS-OT.
