LIN 395-01 - Advanced Special Topic: Tone

4 credits (Spring)
How are tones both similar to and different from consonants and vowels? What has the study of tone contributed to linguistics? This course explores the many facets of tone in the world’s languages, from the phonetics of tonal inventories to the complexity of tonal phonology to the interaction of tone and syntactic structure. We will also consider how languages develop tone, how to study tone in the field, and the relationship between tone and music.
