Essay from the year 2005 in the subject American Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, State University of New York at Stony Brook (Linguistics), course: Phonology, 5 entries in the bibliography, language: English, comment: Within an OT famework, I try to account for the (ir-)regularity of German vowel fronting (umlaut). , abstract: Throughout the history of phonology, there have been numerous attempts to explain the phenomenon of vowel fronting in German. Even OT is left with a number of problems when tackling German vowel fronting - because the process seems to originate from around the interface of phonology and morphology; because the phenomenon only seems to behave in more or less generalizable patterns; and because there is a lot of inter-speaker and intraspeaker variation.§§This paper will start out by describing umlauting and umlaut-triggering conditions in some detail. The description will be followed by a brief overview of the most dominant ideas that had been brought forward in pre-OT literature, and the paper will close with a suggestion of a possible constraint-ranking responsible for umlauting, not forgetting the problems that remain even in an OT-based account.
