Fataluku word-level prosody
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines word-level prosody in Fataluku, an underdocumented Papuan language of East Timor. Although information about Fataluku remains very limited, at least three alternative analyses of word-level prosody have been suggested: predictable accent, phonemic accent and phonemic tone. This study investigates the phonetic facts of the f0 contour in Fataluku, comparing the behavior of f0 with the claims implicit in each phonological analysis. No evidence was found for any of these three accounts; rather, the evidence in this variety of Fataluku indicates an intonation-only system based on the accentual phrase (AP). Each AP contains one or more words which form a close syntactic or semantic unit and carries a high intonational tone (H) on the syllable containing the second mora.
