Editorial Reviews
Review
“Nevins presents an original principles-and-parameters theory of vowel harmony in the spirit of the Minimalist Program. He argues that the computational principles governing vowel harmony transcend phonology and are characteristic of the language faculty. Written in a lucid and accessible style, this absorbing book should be of interest to anyone who is curious about how language works.” –Elan Dresher, Professor and Chair of Linguistics, University of Toronto
