The first conference brought together phonologists who share an interest in the study of word stress, based on broad typological surveys. 1 In several cases, such surveys have taken the form of digital databases which contain information about stress properties in large numbers of languages. In particular, two such databases ( StressTyp and Stress Pattern Database ) are publicly available on the WWW. 2 While the chapters in this volume are based on public talks, the (‘hidden’) goal of the first conference was to develop a grant proposal which would allow the architects of these databases to merge the two resources into one system, to be named StressTyp2 .3 Beyond merger, the goal was to enrich the information, both in terms of depth (detail of encoding) and breadth (number of languages) and to improve quality and accessibility of the data. -

Reduplication in Leti.Pdf
Reduplication in Leti Harry van der Hulst and Marian Klamer 0. Introduction In this article we present an analysis of reduplication facts in Tutukeian-Letinese, Leti for short.1 We will show that the facts are rather straightforward once it is understood how Leti reduplication interacts with two independent phonological processes of the language: metathesis and fusion. After some preliminary remarks about syllable and root structure in Leti in section 2, section 3 offers a brief discussion of the metathesis and fusion facts, following and somewhat modifying an analysis proposed in Van der Hulst & Van Engelenhoven 1995 (henceforth VDH and VE). In section 4 we turn to the reduplication data. Leti is an Austronesian (Central Malayo-Poiynesian) language and is spoken on the island of Leti which is situated off the easternmost tip of Timor. The language has about 600 speakers, the majority of whom are around sixty to seventy years old. The data analyzed in this article come from Van Engelenhoven (1995). 2. Basic phonology In this section we provide some basic facts about the phonological structure of Leti. For a more detailed description we refer to Van Engelenhoven (1995) and to VDH and VE. The segmental inventory of Leti (excluding a few loan phonemes) is displayed in (1). The high vowels I'll and /u/ occur as glides /y/ and /w/ if they do not form the syllable peak and precede a non-high vowel. 1 We are grateful to Aone van Engelenhoven for answering some questions we had about the redupli cation patterns.

Cognitive Phonology
Harry van der Hulst Cognitive Phonology Cognitive Phonology Harry van der Hulst University of Connecticut ([email protected]) 1. Introduction Phonology is usually thought of as the study of the ‘sound systems’ of languages. In this article I will make an attempt to explain what that means for me and why I refer to the approach that I favor as ‘cognitive’. Frankly, I have no idea how phonology could ever be anything but cognitive. However, there is a certain view that explanation in this domain must be crucially built upon our understanding of how sounds are produced and perceived. I do not dispute that insight into linguistic sound systems can be derived from such understanding. My point is that some fundamental properties of sound systems cannot be understood in this way, but rather must come from theories about the cognitive representations that underlie sound systems. Hence ‘cognitive phonology’. As we will see, phonology, being cognitive, is not fully encapsulated in the mind, as there must also be a system for externalizing the phonological representations. In section 2 I first discuss what it means to say someone knows linguistic sound events. Section 3 argues for a strong parallelism between grammatical components (phonology, syntax and semantics) and contains a brief excursion on the evolution of language. Sections 4 and 5 home in on the phonological component, discussing static (i.e. phonotactic) and dynamic (i.e. allomorphy) phenomena, respectively. In section 6, I argue that even though the phonological system is non-derivational and constraint-based, two levels (in different planes) are necessary. -

Kita was the leader of the “Gesture Project” at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (MPI) in Nijmegen (The Netherlands). The Project mainly focused on gestures that spontaneously accompany speech, especially how psy- chological processes of gesture production and speech production are inter- linked. Van der Hulst, who was at the General Linguistics department at Leiden University (The Netherlands), initiated contact with Kita and suggested a system- atic exploration of differences and similarities between sign language and speech- accompanying gesture. -

Each volume examines current and past treatments of a specific topic and offers a reasoned account of the theories and methods that lead to the best account for the facts. The books provide students and practitioners of phonology, phonetics, and related fields with a valuable source of instruction and reference, set within the context of wider developments in the field, and where relevant in linguistics and cognitive science more generally.

A Featural Analysis of Mid and Downstepped High Tone in Babanki Pius W
Chapter 1 A featural analysis of mid and downstepped high tone in Babanki Pius W. Akumbu University of Buea, Cameroon In this study, I examine the occurrence of the surface Mid (M) and downstepped High (↓H) tone in Babanki, a Central Ring Grassfields Bantu language of Cameroon. Hyman (1979) has demonstrated that Babanki has two underlying tones, namely, High (H) and Low (L), and that on the surface, it contrasts three level tones, H, M, L, plus a downstepped High (↓H). There is also contrast between a falling (L) anda level low (Lo) tone before pause in the language. I demonstrate in this paper that the M tone is from two different phonological sources and derived by the regressive spread of the high register feature of a following H tone while ↓H is caused by the progressive spread of the low register feature of a preceding floating L tone. The M and ↓H tone are phonetically identical in the language but differ inthat↓H establishes a ceiling for following H tones within the same tonal phrase. 1 Introduction Part of the complexity of tone in Grassfields Bantu (GB) languages of Northwest Cameroon such as Babanki (a Central Ring GB language) is the lack of correspon- dence between underlying and surface tones as well as the presence of many floating tones. There is no underlying M tone in Babanki, yet it occurs onthe surface with the constraint that it must be followed by a H tone. Hyman (1979) has given a historical account of this M tone which is unnecessarily abstract as a synchronic analysis. -
Diacritic Weight in the Extended Accent First Theory

Diacritic Weight in the Extended Accent First Theory Abstract In this article, I present the Extended Accent First theory, which is an offshoot of the Primary Accent First theory (van der Hulst 1996, 1997, 1999, 2010). While the latter is known to correctly account for accent location in a large variety of languages, it encounters difficulties accounting for lexical accent systems and systems sensitive to both phonological weight and lexical accent. The Extended Accent First theory makes such an account possible. In this theory, lexical accent is reanalyzed as “diacritic weight”, leading to the notions of “diacritic weight scale” and “hybrid weight scale”. The Extended Accent First theory is illustrated here with a case study from Central and Southern Selkup that shows how the theory works and, in particular, how it can account for dominance effects using a diacritic weight scale. A comparison of the Accent Deletion approach vs. the Extended Accent First theory with respect to accentual dominance suggests that the approach proposed here is more straightforward and economical. -
