This book provides a description and analysis of its tone system, progressing from lexical tones towards morphotonology. Tonal changes permeate numerous aspects of the morphosyntax of Yongning Na. They are not the product of a small set of phonological rules, but of a host of rules that are restricted to specific morphosyntactic contexts. Rich morphotonological systems have been reported in this area of Sino-Tibetan, but book-length descriptions remain few. This study of an endangered language contributes to a better understanding of the diversity of prosodic systems in East Asia.</p><p class="">The analysis is based on original fieldwork data (made available online), collected over the course of ten years, commencing in 2006.</p><div class=""><a href="http://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/109" class="">http://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/109</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you are interested in writing a review of this publication, please contact the editors at <a href="mailto:ltba.email@gmail.com" class="">ltba.email@gmail.com</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best regards,</div><div class="">Alec</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><i style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.666666984558105px;" class="">Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area</i><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.666666984558105px;" class=""><a href="http://www.benjamins.com/catalog/ltba" style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.666666984558105px;" class="">www.benjamins.com/catalog/ltba</a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.666666984558105px;" class=""> </span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.666666984558105px;" class=""><a href="mailto:ltba.email@gmail.com" style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.666666984558105px;" class="">ltba.email@gmail.com</a></div></div></div></body></html>
