- In this study we investigate utterance-final intonation in two dialects of Kammu, one tonal and one non-tonal. While the general patterns of utterance-final intonation are similar between the dialects, we do find clear evidence that the lexical tones of the tonal dialect restrict the pitch range and the realization of focus. Speaker engagement can have a strong effect on the utterance-final accent in both dialects.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The phrase-final accent can typically contain a multitude of simultaneous prosodic signals. In this study, aimed at separating the effects of lexical tone from phrase-final intonation, phrase-final accents of two dialects of Kammu were analyzed. Kammu, a Mon-Khmer language spoken primarily in northern Laos, has dialects with lexical tones and dialects with no lexical tones. Both dialects seem to engage the phrase-final accent to simultaneously convey focus, phrase finality, utterance finality, and speaker engagement. Both dialects also show clear evidence of truncation phenomena. These results have implications for our understanding of the interaction between tone, intonation and phrase-finality.

Boundary signaling in tonal and non-tonal dialects of Kammu

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Kammu, a Mon-Khmer language spoken in Northern Laos is a language that has developed lexical tones rather recently, from the point of view of language history. One of the main dialects of this language is a tone language of the “East Asian” type with (high or low) tone on each syllable, while the other main dialect lacks lexical tones. The dialects differ only marginally in other respects. This type of language material allows us to investigate how the existence of lexical tones in a given language influences the use of intonation in that language, especially as a signal for focus and phrasing. We performed an introductory study of phrase intonation in tonal vs. non-tonal dialects of Kammu. As awaited we do find differences in boundary signaling. In both types of dialects the differentiation between (pragmatically) marked and unmarked boundaries is relevant. At marked phrase boundaries we find signaling of focus and of some expressive meanings. The difference between the two types of dialects is in the functional load of the intonational gestures. Thus in the tone dialects pragmatically marked boundaries are assigned high pitch, while in nontonal dialect it is a pitch fall that has a high pragmatic load.
