The PC-KIMMO analyses were converted into analyses using linearly ordered generative rules, which were equivalent in the sense that they derived the surface forms from the same underlying forms. In most cases the linearly ordered roles were simpler than the twolevel rules, in part because rule ordering rendered redundant some of the constraints necessitated by the two-level formalism. The number of rules for each language was reduced to between 7 and 11, as some two-level rules (such as default rules) are unneeded in a generative analysis, while others collapse into disjunctively ordered rule sets. For instance, PC-KIMMO has six rules for vowel harmony in Turkish: two for backness harmony in low vowels (one to make a low vowel I+back] in the appropriate environment, and one to make it i-baekl in the opposite environment), and four rules for backncss and rounding harmony in nonlow vowels.

(During analysis, the position of morpheme boundaries is unknown, hence they are impossible to check for.) This analysis will be filtered", |

The language being parsed is Japanese. The data and rules were adapted from one of the sample data sets provided with PC-KIMMO (see Antworth 1990 ). The rule notation is an internal format, not necessarily intended for the end user. Structures are enclosed in \"< >\". Added comments are shown in italics. We first load the rules. The rule shown here ([+voc -round] --> 0 / [+voc] + __) deletes a non-round vowel immediately after another vowel, but note the obligatory morpheme boundary (\"+ \"): (load morpher_rule <prule rname vowel_deletion p_lhs <p_lhs pseq ((+ voc -round))> p_rhs <p_rhs pseq 0 > left environ <ptemp pseq ((+ voc) \"+\")>>) ... remaining rules are not shown here.
