a. AGREE >> ANCHOR-R: bidirectional <strong>harmony</strong><br />
b. ANCHOR-R >> AGREE: only regressive <strong>harmony</strong><br />
In comb<strong>in</strong>ation with the Place Faithfulness hierarchy, the follow<strong>in</strong>g patterns<br />
result:<br />
(40) Interaction <strong>of</strong> ANCHOR-RIGHT with AGREE <strong>and</strong> place faith<br />
a. AGREE >> ANCHOR-R, FAITH(LAB) >> FAITH(COR)<br />
bidirectional assimilation target<strong>in</strong>g labials <strong>and</strong> coronals<br />
b. ANCHOR-R >>AGREE >> FAITH(LAB) >> FAITH(COR)<br />
regressive assimilation target<strong>in</strong>g labials <strong>and</strong> coronals<br />
c. FAITH(LAB) >> AGREE >> ANCHOR-R >> FAITH(COR)<br />
bidirectional assimilation target<strong>in</strong>g coronals<br />
d. FAITH(LAB) >> ANCHOR-R >> AGREE >> FAITH(COR)<br />
regressive assimilation target<strong>in</strong>g coronals<br />
5.1.2 Approach 2: Fixed rank<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Another approach is to have separate constra<strong>in</strong>ts driv<strong>in</strong>g progressive <strong>and</strong><br />
regressive assimilation (see e.g. McCarthy 1997, Walker 1998), with a fixed<br />
rank<strong>in</strong>g between them.<br />
(41) Direction-specific AGREE constra<strong>in</strong>ts<br />
a. AGREE-LEFT: any <strong>consonant</strong> preced<strong>in</strong>g a Dorsal <strong>consonant</strong> is Dorsal.<br />
b. AGREE-RIGHT: any <strong>consonant</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g a Dorsal <strong>consonant</strong> is Dorsal.<br />
c. fixed rank<strong>in</strong>g: AGREE-LEFT >> AGREE-RIGHT<br />
(42)<br />
(43)<br />
Under this account, strictly regressive assimilation results when FAITH is<br />
ranked between AGREE-L <strong>and</strong> AGREE-R:<br />
(44) Interaction between FAITH <strong>and</strong> the AGREE hierarchy<br />
a. AGREE-L >> AGREE-R >> FAITH: bidirectional <strong>harmony</strong><br />
b. AGREE-L >> FAITH >> AGREE-R: regressive <strong>harmony</strong><br />
In addition, because <strong>of</strong> the possibility <strong>of</strong> rank<strong>in</strong>g FAITHLAB between the two<br />
AGREE constra<strong>in</strong>ts, the factorial typology is slightly richer (see (45b)).<br />
(45) Interaction between the place faith <strong>and</strong> AGREE hierarchies<br />
a. AGREE-L >> AGREE-R >> FAITH(LAB) >> FAITH(COR)<br />
bidirectional assimilation target<strong>in</strong>g labials <strong>and</strong> coronals<br />
b. AGREE-L >> FAITH(LAB) >> AGREE-R >> FAITH(COR)
