While tone languages make up to 70 percent of the world’s languages, only few have been explored for intonation. And even though one third of the world’s languages are spoken in Africa, and most sub-Saharan languages are tone languages, recent collections on tone and intonation typology have almost entirely ignored African languages. This book aims to fill this gap.Phonology and phonetics ;Volume 24.African languagesToneAfrican Languages.Intonation Typology.Tone Languages.African languagesTone.496Downing Laura J.Rialland AnnieMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798853803321Intonation in African tone languages3770078UNINA
