Abstract

ABSTRACT The birth of tone, or tonogenesis, has been an area of research for over a century, yet we are still unable to predict how and when a language will acquire tone. This article compiles a typology by researching tonogenesis from 40 different languages across a range of families. Each tonogenetic event within these languages is coded for syntagmatic position, manner and laryngeal setting of the tonogenetic trigger. I further make a distinction between ‘strict’ tonogenesis, when a language acquires tone for the first time, as something distinct from ‘broad’ tonogenesis, in which a tonal language develops additional tones. The results of this typology then reveal several novel findings, including the prevalence of onset-conditioned tonogenesis and the importance of sonority in strict tonogenesis. In summary, I show that the Vietnamese model is not applicable in most cases and that tonogenesis is a highly varied phenomenon, warranting further detailed study and a more refined model.
走向眼压发生的类型学:对模型的修正
音调的产生,或称为音调生成,已经是一个多世纪的研究领域,但我们仍然无法预测一种语言将如何以及何时获得音调。本文通过研究不同家族的40种不同语言的音调发生学,编制了一个类型学。这些语言中的每一个眼压生成事件都被编码为眼压生成触发的组合位置、方式和喉部设置。我进一步区分了“严格”音调生成(当一种语言第一次获得音调时)与“广泛”音调生成不同,在“广泛”色调生成中,音调语言发展出额外的音调。这种类型学的结果揭示了一些新的发现,包括发病条件性眼压发生的普遍性和响度在严格眼压发生中的重要性。总之,我表明越南模型在大多数情况下不适用,眼压发生是一种高度多样化的现象,需要进一步的详细研究和更精细的模型。
