DESCRIPTION:Vowel harmony is usually analysed as a word-level process. In 
 this talk\, I will show empirical data on vowel harmony exceeding the word
 . The data is based on Anum\, a Kwa language spoken in Ghana. Anum employs
  a pattern of [ATR] vowel harmony that is regressive and [+ATR] dominant. 
 Vowel harmony applies frequently between words that belong to either the s
 ame or to different syntactic constituents\, but is blocked between certai
 n constituents. In this talk\, I argue to analyse vowel harmony between wo
 rds as a phrasal process considering recursive phonological phrases. I off
 er an OT analysis which is couched within syntax-phonology Match Theory. T
 he proposal argues for an application of the process within and across non
 -maximal phonological phrases and a blocking of application across maximal
  phonological phrases.
