\problem{2}
\part{c}
It would appear that the two basic rules for Turkish vowel harmony are:\\
\begin{itemize}
\item{+back vowels (u a o i\hspace{-.3em}-) will occur in a word only with other +back vowels.}
\item[ ]{-back vowels (i \"{o} e \"{u}) will occur in a word only with other -back vowels.}
\item{+rounded vowels may only be preceeded by other rounded vowels.}
\end{itemize}

For example, g\"{o}n\"{u}lerimiz uses all the +back vowels, with the rounded vowels (\"{o} \"{u}) occuring before unrounded ones (e i).  Similarly, kollari\hspace{-.3em}-mi\hspace{-.3em}-z, uses 3 out of 4 -back vowels, again with the rounded vowel, u, preceding the others.

\part{d}
i. The cases of pilot and chauffer both violate the first rule, mixing back and non-back vowels in the same domain.
\par
ii. I don't know why children generalize [pilot] to [pil\"{o}t], because that would appear to violate the second rule.  [\v{s}ofor] makes some sense in that it seems there is a preference for vowel repetition.
\part{e}
I don't see how to formalize the rules in the same style as (4), (6), and (8).
