Abstract
This paper proposes an optimality theoretic analysis of nasal harmony in Mbya Guarani. I propose that nasal harmony in Mbya is best understood as the product of two distinct phenomena: (i) nasal harmony between adjacent syllable nuclei and (ii) nasal coarticulation from a vowel to an adjacent consonant edge. The proposed analysis, which is laid out in optimality theory (OT), is inspired by the work of Piggott and van der Hulst (1997).
