The contributions to this volume study possible and sometimes complex ways in which the tones of a language engage in the expression of grammatical categories. There is a widespread conception that tone is a lexical phenomenon only. This is partly a consequence of the main interest in tone coming from phonology, while the main interest in inflection has stemmed from segmental morphology. Similarly, textbooks on inflection and textbooks on tone give very few examples of the inflectional use of tone, and such examples are often the same ones or too similar. This volume aims to broaden our understanding of the link between tone and inflection by showing that there is more to tone than meets the eye. The book includes general chapters as well as case studies on lesser known languages of Asia, Africa and Papua New Guinea, with a special focus on the Oto-Manguean languages, a large and diverse linguistic stock of Mexico that inspired Kenneth Pike?s 1948 seminal work on tone. Most of the contributions to this volume provide first-hand data from recent fieldwork that stems from important language documentation activities. 410 0$aTrends in linguistics.$pStudies and monographs ;$v296. 606 $aTone (Phonetics) 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general 606 $aLinguistics$zMexico 606 $aMazatec Indians$xLanguages 606 $aMazateco language$xDialects 606 $aIndians of Mexico$xLanguages 606 $aLanguage and languages$xGrammars 607 $aMexico$zOaxaca$xLanguages 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTone (Phonetics) 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general. 615 0$aLinguistics 615 0$aMazatec Indians$xLanguages. 615 0$aMazateco language$xDialects. 615 0$aIndians of Mexico$xLanguages. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xGrammars. 676 $a490 702 $aPalancar$b Enrique L. 702 $aLe?onard$b Jean-Le?o 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466350103321 996 $aTone and inflection$92454912 997 $aUNINA
