This poster provides an analysis of Manchu vowel harmony and argues that mismatch in vowel harmony for imperfective and perfective heads is caused by a phasal imperfective head, which requires that its complement, the spell-out domain, be sent to PF before more material can attach to the stem. We use this analysis to create a simplified set of generalizations for pedagogical purposes, hoping to streamline the internalization process of acquiring vowel harmony for heritage learners.
