Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Sound change Consonant harmony is a type of "long-distance" phonological assimilation, akin to the similar assimilatory process involving vowels, i.e. vowel harmony.

Examples

In Athabaskan languages

One of the more common harmony processes is coronal harmony, which affects coronal fricatives, such as s and sh. Then, all coronal fricatives belong to the +anterior class (s-like sounds) or the -anterior class (sh-like sounds). Such patterns are found in the Dene (Athabaskan) languages such as Navajo (Young and Morgan 1987, McDonough 2003), Tahltan (Shaw 1991), Western Apache, and in Chumash on the California coast (Applegate 1972, Campbell 1997). In Tahltan, Shaw showed that coronal harmony affects three coronal fricatives, s, sh and the interdental th. The following examples are given by de Reuse: in Western Apache, the verbal prefix si- is an alveolar fricative, as in the following forms:

However, when the prefix Шаблон:Lang occurs before a verb stem that contains a post-alveolar affricate, the Шаблон:Lang surfaces as the post-alveolar Шаблон:Lang:

Thus, all sibilant obstruents (fricatives and affricates) in these languages are divided into two groups, +anterior (Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang) and -anterior (Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang). In Navajo, as in most languages with consonant harmony, there is a constraint on the shape of roots (a well-formedness constraint) that is identical to the harmony process. All roots with sibilant affricates or fricatives have the same value for anteriority. Shaw (1991) provides a phonological analysis of this process, using data from research on Tahltan.

There are two interesting aspects of the process in Navajo. Firstly, morphemes that participate are domain-specific, only the last two domains are affected (conjunct + stem). Verbal morphemes from the outer or 'disjunct' domain are not affected by the process: the process is morphologically conditioned. Secondly, the lateral affricate and fricative (Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang) appear with both values. Young and Morgan (1987) offer an extensive sets of examples of this type of morpheme alternation in Navajo.

In Sanskrit

A different example of coronal harmony, sometimes referred to as NATI rule, occurs in Sanskrit, where Шаблон:IPA is retroflexed to Шаблон:IPA if it is preceded by a retroflex continuant, mainly Шаблон:IPA and Шаблон:IPA, in the same word, even at a distance. The retroflexion spreads from left to right affecting any coronal nasal until the word boundary is reached. This phenomenon, however, is blocked whenever a coronal plosive is placed between Шаблон:IPA/Шаблон:IPA and Шаблон:IPA. For instance, in the noun Шаблон:Lang brāhmaṇa "Brahmin priest" (derived from the root *bṛh "to make strong" + the suffix -man- + the thematic vowel -a), the original coronal Шаблон:IPA (IAST: n) of the action noun suffix -man changes to a retroflex Шаблон:IPA (IAST: ṇ) due to consonant harmony triggered by Шаблон:IPA (IAST: r). On the other hand, in the word अर्चन arcana "homage, praising" (from *ṛc "to praise" + -man- + -a) consonant harmony is prevented by the coronal stop Шаблон:IPA (IAST: c) which blocks the assimilation.[1]

In Old Chinese

Old Chinese probably had some constraint governing the shape of disyllables. According to modern reconstructions of Old Chinese phonology, type A and B syllables almost never co-occur in a disyllabic word. In the latest reconstruction of Old Chinese phonology proposed by Baxter and Sagart (2014), this type A vs. type B distinction can be traced back to the presence or the absence of pharyngealization respectively, cf. Шаблон:Wikt-lang Шаблон:Transliteration < OC Шаблон:IPA "to bring into" (type A) and Шаблон:Wikt-lang Шаблон:Transliteration < OC Шаблон:IPA "to enter" (type B) only differing by the [±pharyngeal] trait of the initial consonant. Onsets of type B syllables, lacking of pharyngealization, are subject to palatalization in Middle Chinese (indicated by a palatal medial -j- in Baxter's notation), while type A pharyngealized onsets failed to palatalize. In many ancient disyllabic words type A and type B characters do not mix, there are almost solely bisyllabic morphemes either with type A syllables, such as:

or with type B syllables, including:

Such pattern seems to suggest the existence of some sort of pharyngeal harmony in Old Chinese.[2] However, there are notable, though infrequent, exceptions to this tendency, manifesting in ancient compounds that are generally hard to analyze. From this list the following word is often mentioned:

In Maghrebi Arabic

Consonant harmony can also be observed in Moroccan Arabic and some southern dialects of Algerian Arabic in sequences of sibilants:[4]

In other languages

Various Austronesian languages have consonant harmony among the liquid consonants, with Шаблон:IPA assimilating at a distance to Шаблон:IPA or vice versa.

Guaraní shows nasal harmony, and certain affixes have alternative forms according to whether the root includes a nasal (vowel or consonant) or not. For example, the reflexive prefix is realized as oral Шаблон:Lang before an oral stem like Шаблон:Lang "kill", but as nasal Шаблон:Lang before a nasal stem like Шаблон:Lang "hit". The ã makes the stem nasal.

Some Finnish-speakers find it hard to pronounce both 'b' and 'p' in loanwords (Шаблон:Lang, pub) and so they voice (Шаблон:Lang) or devoice (Шаблон:Lang) the entire word. It should, however, be noted that the distinction between the consonants is not native to Finnish.[5] Native Finnish words do not use Шаблон:IPA.

In the Ngeté-Herdé language of Cameroon, voicing of word-medial obstruents is strongly influenced by voicing of the word-initial consonant. Generally, all obstruents in a word are either voiced or voiceless.[6]

In spoken German various suffixes of the type Шаблон:IPA, written Шаблон:Lang, like the infinitive and the 1st and 2nd person plural verbal suffix, will inherit their place of articulation from the preceding consonant when realised. Thus Шаблон:Lang ("to go") and Шаблон:Lang ("to pray") will be realised as Шаблон:IPA and Шаблон:IPA but Шаблон:Lang ("to ask") and Шаблон:Lang ("to have") will wield Шаблон:IPA and Шаблон:IPA. Some dialects reduce this even further to Шаблон:IPA and Шаблон:IPA.
