Abstract:

This thesis deals with the tone accent opposition in the so-called "Rule B
area" in Franconian. Rule B is known for its reversal of tonal melodies: in
1921, Adolf Bach published a description of the Arzbach accents, stating that
the tonal melodies in Arzbach display a reversal of those in the rest of the
area (Rule A). The study at hand not only provides crucial but as yet missing
empirical data on Rule B but also suggests synchronic and diachronic 
typological analyses of the phenomenon. Newly gathered phonetic data from 
the Arzbach dialect show that the tone accents in Arzbach are reversed in 
declaration but not in interrogation, where they strongly resemble the Rule A 
contours. This important observation was unreported so far. On the basis of 
these findings, detailed synchronic autosegmental analyses for Arzbach and 
three other Franconian dialects show that we can understand the tone accent 
opposition as one of different foot structures for the two accents (resulting in 
head domains of different size). All analyses are formalized in Optimality 
Theory. The diachronic section of the thesis explores the origin of the semi-
reversed tonal contours in Rule B. It argues that Rule B and Rule A 
developed out of a common predecessor but adapted in different ways to 
declaration melodies from non-accent dialects, which lead to opposite 
declarative contours. This study is of interest to phonologists concerned with 
tone, prosodic structure, and their interaction. Furthermore, it addresses 
(acoustic) phoneticians as well as dialectologists, especially those interested 
in Germanic prosody.
