Outline of the dissertation. The dissertation is roughly organized as follows. In chapter 2, I start with a definition of the theory and establish the equivalence between I/O-Correspondence and φ- Correspondence relations and constraints. I then move on to analyze three case studies, each illustrating a particular aspect of the theory. Chapter 3 deals with directional harmony and focuses on head alignment, chapter 4 concerns feature correspondence in overlapping harmonies, and chapter 5 deals with the interaction of markedness constraints with φ-head faithfulness constraints in counterfeeding patterns. Finally, chapter 6 contains a typology of the theory and a discussion of the empirical generalizations of consonant harmony. A more detailed description of the chapters follows.
