Tone, Intonation, Stress and Duration in Navajo
Book information
Description
Coyote Papers; 12 p.The phonological categories of tone, stress, duration and intonation interact in interesting and complex ways in the world’s languages. One reason for this is that they all use the phonetic cues of pitch and duration in different ways in order to be understood as phonologically meaningful. The Navajo language has unique prosodic characteristics that make it particularly valuable for the study of how pitch and duration interact on a phonological level.
