| Summary | Annotation This book argues a fresh theory about the structure of tone. Bao investigates a wide range of tone sandhi data from various Chinese dialects and other Asian tone languages, providing empirical support for his proposal that tone is a formal entity which consists of register and contour. Baoestablishes a clear typological distinction between register tone languages and contour tone languages whose contour tones have a more complex structure. |
