From the physiology and acoustics to their patterning across human
languages, tone is one of the fundamental constructs in human
languages that is also among the hardest to apprehend. Drawing upon
a large number of languages around the world, this volume explores
the concept of tone starting from its physical properties of
articulation and acoustics to its manifestation in phonology.
Designed as a comprehensive study accessible to the novice and
useful for the expert, each chapter covers a particular aspect of
tone in increasing depth and complexity, weaving together key
concepts and theories that provide complementing or competing
accounts of tone's phonological intricacies. In the process, one
uncovers the underlying laws and principles that inform today's
understanding of the subject to form a more synthesized view that
also allows us to explore the relation of tone to other important
areas of humanity such as literature, history, music and cognition.
