Description

This academic volume addresses a significant gap in linguistic research by focusing on two under-investigated areas of intonation typology. While tone languages represent up to 70 percent of the world's languages, research into their intonation remains limited. This is particularly true for African languages, which make up one third of the world's linguistic diversity and are largely tone languages. Published by De Gruyter Mouton as part of the Phonology and Phonetics series, this book provides necessary data on sub-Saharan languages that have been largely ignored in recent collections on tone and intonation typology. It serves as a vital resource for researchers and students interested in speech, phonology, and the specific linguistic structures of African languages. By providing a dedicated study of these patterns, this work helps complete the broader understanding of global intonation typology.

Part of the Phonology and Phonetics series (PP, 24) for academic consistency.
