Abstract:
Tone is about melody and meaning, inflection is about grammar, and this book
is about a bit of both. The contributions to this volume study possible and
sometimes complex ways in which the tones of a language engage in the
expression of grammatical categories. There is a widespread conception that
tone is a lexical phenomenon only. This is partly a consequence of the main
interest in tone coming from phonology, while the main interest in inflection
has stemmed from segmental morphology. Similarly, textbooks on inflection and
textbooks on tone give very few examples of the inflectional use of tone, and
such examples are often the same ones or too similar.
This volume aims to broaden our understanding of the link between tone and
inflection by showing that there is more to tone than meets the eye. The book
includes general chapters as well as case studies on lesser known languages of
Asia, Africa and Papua New Guinea, with a special focus on the Oto-Manguean
languages, a large and diverse linguistic stock of Mexico that inspired
Kenneth Pike’s 1948 seminal work on tone. Most of the contributions to this
volume provide first-hand data from recent fieldwork that stems from important
language documentation activities.
