題目：The Inverted Hyman Model of Tone Register
摘要：Decades of tonological study has led to the discoveries of tonal features, tonal register, and how these might be organized in a coherent model that would provide an account for various tone sandhi phenomena. However, so far, none of the models appear to adequately account for the range of tonal phenomena in relation to tonal register. As far as descriptions go, downsteps in African languages and register spreading in Chinese languages appear to be the same since both are about setting the pitch range for a tonal domain, typically covering a string of syllables. This talk proposes a new model that is inspired by Hyman’s (1992) treatment of Kikuyu, but adapted to capture also Chinese.
講者簡介：Lian-Hee’s research covers tonology in Chinese languages and new varieties of Englishes such as Singapore’s and Hong Kong’s, extending them where possible into poetic and musical practice as well as cultural research. Among more than 10 (co-)authored/edited volumes, and numerous papers, Wee’s notable publications include Phonological Tone (Cambridge University Press, 2019), editorial collaboration with Cha: an Asian Literary Journal in celebration of Asian Englishes’ voices, and “Hong Kong Food Runes” (World Literature Today, spring 2019). He recently published Complexity in the Phonology of Tone (with Mingxing Li, Cambridge University Press, 2023).
