Description

Research Mate in African Linguistics: Focus on Cameroon. A fieldworker’s tool for deciphering the stories Cameroonian languages have to tell. - Köln; Yaounde: Rutgers University; University of Yaounde, 2001. - pp. 333 - 357.This paper seeks to account for the tonal processes in the infinitive in Kinande. We postulate lexical tones, phrasal tones and intonational tones in the input, and we derive the output tones from these through universal constraints that mediate between input and output tonal structures.
