Abstract EN
The vowel harmony phenomenon has long been observed in many Arabic dialects.آل has been discussed by many scholars Kenstowicz, Abu-Salim, among others).
To explain this phenomenon, these scholars assumed two rules of vowel harmony: progressive and regressive.
In this paper I discuss vowel harmony in the North Jordanian Arabic ofAjloun and its interaction with Underspecification Theory.
I show that the utilization of Unerspecification Theory will account for harmonic processes without assuming harmony rules.
