The sounds of language can be divided into consonants, vowels and tones – theuse of pitch to convey word meaning. As many as seventy per cent of the world’slanguages may use pitch in this way.

Assuming little or no prior knowledge of the topic, this textbook provides aclearly organized introduction to tone and tonal phonology. Comprehensive inscope, it examines the main types of tonal systems found in Africa, the Americasand Asia, using examples from the widest possible range of tone languages. Itprovides students with a basic grasp of the simple phonetics of tone, and coverskey topics such as the distinctive feature systems suitable for tonal contrasts,allophonic and morphophonological tonal alterations, and how to analyse themwithin Optimality Theory. The book also examines the perception and acquisi-tion of tone, as well as the interface between tonal phonology and the mor-phosyntax.

Preface

This book is designed for students of linguistics who want to learn moreabout tone. It assumes a basic knowledge of phonological theory such as might beacquired in a year-long phonology course, but it does not assume any particularprior exposure to work on tone. The theoretical chapters of the book are framed inOptimality Theory (OT), but should be intelligible to students with no previousbackground in OT.

The book is suitable for a semester-long course on tonal phonology at the ad-vanced undergraduate or graduate level. The theoretical chapters include somesimple exercises, and the answers are given at the end of each chapter. It is alsohoped that the book will be a useful reference work on the fundamentals of tone,and to this end it includes extensive references to both primary fieldwork sourcesand to theoretical works. An effort has been made to give broad coverage of tonelanguages, both typologically and geographically.

Acknowledgements

This book could not have been written without the help of a number ofpeople. My thanks go first and foremost to Neil Smith. He first suggested I shouldwrite this book, he found me office space at a time when I had no professionalhome, and he read every chapter in first draft, within days, and gave me back de-tailed and probing comments. It has been a privilege to work with him.

Particular thanks also to Akin Akinlabi, Larry Hyman and Scott Myers, whotook the time to give me detailed comments on the manuscript, thereby saving mefrom numerous embarrassing mistakes.

This book has also benefited from help and comments from many other peopleover the last two years, including Mary Bradshaw, Nick Clements, Bruce Connell,Jerry Edmondson, Dan Everett, Colleen Fitzgerald, Seldron Geziben, SharonHargus, Joyce McDonough, David Odden, Stuart Rosen, Bernard Tranel, JustinWatkins, Yi Xu, and the participants in talks and seminars at University CollegeLondon and the School of Oriental and African Studies. Some of you have readparts of the manuscript and given me honest feedback, some of you have pointedme in the right directions for references or data, some of you have asked pointedquestions to which I then had to find out the answers. To all of you, my thanks.

All errors, misjudgements and misrepresentations are of course my own re-sponsibility.

Glossary of terms and abbreviations

ballistic Ballistically stressed syllables have post-vocalic aspiration,and are articulated more forcefully than controlled stressed syl-lables. They often rise slightly in pitch at the end, whereas con-trolled stressed syllables show a gradual decrease. The last partof a ballistically stressed syllable shows aperiodic noise, char-acteristic of aspiration.

Bernoulli’s A high-velocity airstream passing through a narrow openingLaw exerts a sucking effect on the walls of the opening, drawing

them together.contour tone A tone that changes pitch during its duration, either rising or

falling.debuccalization Loss of all oral articulations, leaving only a laryngeal such as

[h] or [ʔ].declination An overall fall in pitch as an utterance proceeds, possibly due

to a drop in sub-glottal pressure.default tones A tone inserted on a toneless syllable at the end of the phonol-

ogy. Usually a low tone.docking The association of a floating tone to a tone-bearing unit (TBU).downdrift The lowering of a H tone after an overt L tone. Sometimes

called automatic downstep.downstep The lowering of H in the absence of an overt L tone, but usu-

ally caused by a floating L. Sometimes called non-automaticdownstep. Used in this book on occasions as a cover term forboth downdrift and downstep.

extrametricality The exclusion of a peripheral element (syllable, mora, TBU)from some process, such as tone association or stress calcula-tions.

gradient Calculation of the extent to which a constraint is violated,assessment instead of a pass/no pass approach. Used especially in assess-

ing alignment, so that the greater the misalignment, the moreviolations are counted.
