It explains why Japanese is best understood as a restricted tone language, and why mergers in the large tone classes of nouns and verbs are especially reliable markers of dialect divergence.Current Issues in Linguistic Theory SeriesJapanese languageDialectsTone (Phonetics)Japanese languageDialects.Tone (Phonetics)495.67Boer Elisabeth M. de1859725Unger J.
