A challenge for theories is to account for the patterns that emerge from such intersection. We address three cases: Tagalog nasal substitution, French liaison\/\u00e9lision, and Hungarian vowel harmony, using corpus data. We analyze the data patterns created by intersecting families using several formal frameworks, and find that an accurate account is best based on Harmonic Grammar (in one of its two primary quantitative implementations). Our work also suggests that that certain lexical distinctions treated as discrete by classical phonological theory (e.g., \u0093<em>h<\/em>\u00a0aspir\u00e9\u0094 vs. ordinary vowel-initial words of French) are in fact gradient and require quantitative treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this week\u0092s meeting of&nbsp;Phonology Circle, we will discuss Zuraw &amp; Hayes\u0092s 2017 paper: \u0093Intersecting constraint families: an argument for Harmonic Grammar\u0094.
