Siptár and Törkenczy (2000): The Phonology of Hungarian #

This file formalizes the analysis of vowel harmony in chapter 6 of [ST00] and runs it on the derivations the chapter gives. A stem is a sequence of vocalic nodes with the unary place features COR, LAB and DOR of [CH95b] either prelinked to nodes or floating on the morpheme, and a suffix vowel is a node carrying a linked LAB or placeless, with its aperture. Four rules apply in order: Link DOR and Link Place associate a floating feature, unboundedly, to every node it may reach; Spread DOR and Spread Place extend an anchored feature to the adjacent node, iterating left to right; and a node still placeless is coronal by default. Throughout, DOR may join any node without COR, COR only a placeless node, and LAB any node without DOR that is not low (MayLink, linkDor, linkPlace, spreadDor, spreadPlace, derive). The rules only add association lines and never put COR and DOR on one node (links_subset_derive, derive_sound). The eleven stem representations of the chapter's Table 18 with the four suffixes of its (2) yield the forty-four suffixed forms of its (13) to (23) (derivations), transparency, antiharmony and opacity following from the prelinking alone, and the vacillating stem of section 3.2.3.1 has two representations deriving its two forms (dzsungel_vacillates). The surface generalization of section 3.2, that the last harmonic vowel governs suffix backness through the transparent neutral vowels, is the Fragment's palatalHarmony; it agrees with the derivations on the regular stems and is silent or wrong exactly on the neutral, antiharmonic and opaque stems the analysis handles by prelinking (sourceValue_agrees, sourceValue_viz, sourceValue_hid, sourceValue_kodex).

                                                                          An antiharmonic stem has no harmonic vowel to read either; its floating DOR derives back suffixes.

                                                                          An opaque stem's last harmonic vowel is back, yet its linked DOR cannot reach the suffix and its linked COR derives front suffixes.
