Dec 18, 2017 at 21:24 comment added user6726 The part about "requiring all vowels in a word to agree in a particular feature" simply does not jibe with actual use in the scientific linguistic literature.
Dec 18, 2017 at 18:30 comment added user6726 From the perspective of use in the linguistic literature, that's plainly inaccurate: "all vowels agree" is based on a misunderstanding of Turkish, Finnish and Hungarian.
Dec 18, 2017 at 17:52 comment added iacobo Vowel Raising can be described as a type of metaphony. Vowel harmony is sometimes used synonymously with metaphony. Usually, however, "vowel harmony" refers specifically to a synchronic process operating in a particular language, normally requiring all vowels in a word to agree in a particular feature (e.g. vowel height or vowel backness).
Dec 18, 2017 at 15:59 comment added user6726 What definition of vowel harmony are you working with where raising harmony is not harmony?
