Abstract:

>From the physiology and acoustics to their patterning across human languages,
tone is one of the fundamental constructs in human languages that is also
among the hardest to apprehend. Drawing upon a large number of languages
around the world, this volume explores the concept of tone starting from its
physical properties of articulation and acoustics to its manifestation in
phonology. Designed as a comprehensive study accessible to the novice and
useful for the expert, each chapter covers a particular aspect of tone in
increasing depth and complexity, weaving together key concepts and theories
that provide complementing or competing accounts of tone's phonological
intricacies. In the process, one uncovers the underlying laws and principles
that inform today's understanding of the subject to form a more synthesized
view that also allows us to explore the relation of tone to other important
areas of humanity such as literature, history, music and cognition.
