Zusammenfassung

Assamese has an inventory of eight vowels of which some are subject to both ATR and height harmony. Interestingly, vowel harmony is blocked by intervening nasal consonants under circumstances where the mid back vowel h/ is followed by a nasal. The special feature of Assamese is that there is a positional restriction also: a nasal immediately preceding the potentially triggering vowel always block harmony. We propose that in order to avoid a sequence of wide pharyngeal opening - narrow opening - wide opening, harmony is blocked whenever there is an /o N i/ sequence, showing that a pharynx in a narrower state is preferred to a transition from a wider pharynx to a narrow pharynx for the nasal.
