It is of interest especially to phonologists concerned with segmental harmony and its explanation within Optimality Theory. Postvelar harmony in two unrelated languages, Palestinian Arabic and St'át'imcets Salish, is examined in detail. The result is the first comprehensive clarification of postvelar phonology for either language. Two harmonies are distinguished: uvularisation harmony ('emphasis spread') and pharyngealisation (tongue-root-retraction) harmony. The distinction between these two in thAmsterdam studies in the theory and history of linguistic science.Series IV,Current issues in linguistic theory ;v. 225.Grammar, Comparative and generalPhonologyPhoneticsGrammar, Comparative and generalVowel harmonyConsonantsVowelsGrammar, Comparative and generalPhonology.Phonetics.Grammar, Comparative and generalVowel harmony.Consonants.Vowels.414Shahin Kimary N622534MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781592403321Postvelar harmony1105137UNINA
