Tutrugbu Partial ATR (Dis)harmony in Search
David Ta-Chun Shen
May 2025 

Using its property of checking the presence of a given configuration, Search is employed to analyze Tutrugbu ATR harmony. The phenomenon in question is partially disrupted if the high vowel which is the string-first vowel is followed by (a) non-high vowel(s). The proposal uses the result of an independent search, determining whether the first vocalic is high, to condition the change of the other independent one, making -ATR the non-high vowels whose tongue root movement has not yet been specified, which transpires before the otherwise systematic ±ATR agreement between prefix and stem.
