| Query: |
In Kabiye (Gur, Togo), I analyse noun class suffixes as being toneless.
The suffix receives its tone as the noun root melody associates to the whole word. From discussions with several colleagues, I understand that this is a fairly widespread phenomenon in African, Amazonian and Asian tonal languages, but I am interested in published references supporting this. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Dave Roberts |
