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. Bao establishes a clear typological distinction between register tone languages and contour tone languages whose contour tones have a more complex structure.Chinese languageToneTone (Phonetics)Electronic books.Chinese languageTone.Tone (Phonetics)495.115495.116Bao Zhiming1957-167980MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450692003321Structure of tone480082UNINA
