Vowel Harmony in Palestinian Arabic: A Metrical Perspective.
Abu-Salim, I. M.
Journal of Linguistics, v23 n1 p1-24 Mar 1987
The autosegmental rule of vowel harmony (VH) in Palestinian Arabic is shown to be constrained simultaneously by metrical and segmental boundaries. The indicative prefix bi- is no longer an exception to VH if a structure is assumed that disallows the prefix from sharing a foot with the stem, consequently blocking VH. (Author/LMO)
