Restricted Tone Systems across the World's Languages
Dr. Jonathan P. Evans
(Associate Research Fellow, Institute of Linguistics)
Languages in which at least some units of meaning(morphemes) carry a specification of relative pitch may be termed tonelanguages. Among such languages, tonesmay be as frequent as every syllable (e.g., dialects of Chinese), or as sparseas once per phrase (varieties of Japanese). Sparse tonal systems, in which no more than one tone is pronounced perword (or longer phonological unit), are termed 'culminative'.
