Treatment of Vowel Harmony in Optimality Theory (1st Edition) by Tomomasa Sasa is a comprehensive study that examines how different frameworks within Optimality Theory (OT) can explain the complex patterns of vowel harmony across languages. Drawing on data from Turkish, Yakut, and Pulaar, Sasa evaluates several OT-based models—such as Feature Linking, Agreement by Correspondence (ABC), and Span Theory—to determine their ability to capture phenomena like directionality, transparency, and blocking. The book demonstrates that while OT provides a powerful and flexible framework for analyzing harmony systems, only certain approaches, particularly Feature Linking and ABC, successfully account for the full range of cross-linguistic data. By comparing these models in detail, Sasa’s work refines our understanding of vowel harmony and contributes significantly to the broader development of phonological theory.
