虽然众所周知，一个音段的语音实现可能因位置而异，但位置变化如何与元音和谐相互作用尚不清楚，元音在沿着某些语音维度上必须是相同的。皮尔斯（2008，2012）认为，语音和谐阻止语音还原，这表明语音决定了这类同化模式的语音实现。本文通过对吉尔吉斯语的和声和元音弱化现象的研究，发现吉尔吉斯语的非首元音比首元音更加集中。这种减少的潜在来源，包括最初的加强，喉上decertion，可预测性，和下冲进行了讨论。建议的可预测性为基础的分析提供了一个分析的基础上减少语音知识和表示。
While it is well known that the phonetic realization of a segment may differ by position, it is unclear how positional variation interacts with vowel harmony, the imperative that vowels be identical along some phonological dimension. Pearce (2008, 2012) contends that phonological harmony blocks phonetic reduction, suggesting that phonology dictates phonetic realization for this class of assimilatory patterns. This paper investigates harmony and vowel reduction in Kyrgyz, finding that non-initial vowels are more centralized than their initial-syllable counterparts. The potential sources for this reduction, including initial strengthening, supralaryngeal declination, predictability, and undershoot are discussed. The proposed predictability-based analysis provides an analysis of reduction based on phonological knowledge and representations.
