= The Even Yearbook 4 (2000) == #34 ''volume:'' [[:2000|4 (2000)]] \\ ''pages:'' 19–37 \\ ''author:'' [[:László Kristó]] \\ ''title:'' Palatality Harmony in Proto-Slavonic \\ ''abstract:'' The paper discusses one of the most salient features of Slavonic history, which I call Palatality Harmony (PH). This constraint manifests itself in two processes: first, velar consonants are palatalized before front vowels; second, back vowels are fronted after (alveo-)palatal consonants. There are, however, apparent exceptions to PH, the most important of which is that high back rounded vowels fail to be fronted after (alveo-)palatal consonants. In this essay, I analyze PH in terms of Licensing and Structure Preservation, adopting the view of Government Phonology on the internal makeup of segments. Providing an appropriate ranking of constraints, I account for the apparent irregularities, showing that they follow from PH constraints being lower ranked than other principles (most notably, Structure Preservation). In the final section of the paper, I discuss the controversial status of PH as a synchronic regularity in Late Proto-Slavonic. \\ ''PDF:'' [[this>_media/00kr.pdf|   full text]] \\ ''refs:'' ++ ⟨BibTeX⟩ | \\ ''@article{even00kr, \\   author  = {László Kristó}, \\   title   = {Palatality {H}armony in {P}roto-{S}lavonic}, \\   year    = 2000, \\   journal = {The Even Yearbook}, \\   volume  = 4, \\   pages   = {19--37}, \\   url     = {http://seas.elte.hu/w/!even/00kr} \\ }''\\ ++ ++ ⟨RIS⟩ | \\ ''TY  - JOUR \\ AU  - Kristó,László \\ PY  - 2000/​/​/ \\ TI  - Palatality Harmony in Proto-Slavonic \\ T2  - The Even Yearbook \\ VL  - 4 \\ SP  - 19 \\ EP  - 37 \\ UR  - http://seas.elte.hu/w/!even/00kr \\ ER  -''\\ ++ ++ ⟨txt⟩ | \\ '' Kristó, László. 2000.
