It is shown that this vowel shift is due to distant assimilation, and the resultant pattern is referred to as a case of "asymmetric" vowel harmony. Various descriptive models accounting for this pattern, and their possible implications for hypotheses about internalized grammar, are discussed.</p>}, journal={Annual Report of the Institute of Phonetics University of Copenhagen}, author={Rischel, Jørgen}, year={1975}, month={Mar.}, pages={1–48} }
