Abstract:

In most languages, words contain vowels, elements of high intensity with rich
harmonic structure, enabling the perceptual retrieval of pitch. By contrast,
in Tashlhiyt, a Berber language, words can be composed entirely of voiceless
segments. When an utterance consists of such words, the phonetic opportunity
for the execution of intonational pitch movements is exceptionally limited.
This book explores in a series of production and perception experiments how
these typologically rare phonotactic patterns interact with intonational
aspects of linguistic structure. It turns out that Tashlhiyt allows for a
tremendously flexible placement of tonal events. Observed intonational
structures can be conceived of as different solutions to a functional dilemma:
The requirement to realise meaningful pitch movements in certain positions and
the extent to which segments lend themselves to a clear manifestation of these
pitch movements.
