| summary | This talk presents the findings of four experimental studies of intonation (production and perception) across three African tone languages with varying degrees of tonal complexity: three, four, and five level tone systems. While the results uphold some of the previous findings in the study of intonation in African languages, they reveal systematic tendances that current models of tonal and intonational representation cannot account for. This talk will briefly introduce a new unified representational model for tone and intonation that accounts for the observed data and makes testable predictions about the place of intonation in tone languages. The new model is then used as parameters in a generative cross-linguistic intonation algorithm. The algorithm is a proof of concept that a unified representation for tone and intonation can truly take full advantage of the advances in tonal and intonational research. |
