Popis:	This article examines the behavior of high vowels in Ebira and Yoruba (three dialects), and discusses the implication of attested patterns for two harmony theories: stem control theory (Bakovic 2000, Bakovic and Wilson 2000) and alignment and licensing theory (Pulleyblank 1996, Piggott 1997. Orie 2001a). First, the problems posed for the stem control account are laid out. Second, it is shown that the alignment and licensing analysis is not subject to these problems.
