Abstract:

This volume brings together two under-investigated areas of intonation
typology. While tone languages make up to 70 percent of the world’s languages,
only few have been explored for intonation. And even though one third of the
world’s languages are spoken in Africa, and most sub-Saharan languages are
tone languages, recent collections on tone and intonation typology have almost
entirely ignored African languages. This book aims to fill this gap.
