- Previous studies on implosives have shown a great diversity in the production of implosives among the languages in the world. In the light of this, this paper seeks to identify the acoustic phonetic properties of a Bantu language, Mpiemo, spoken in the Central African Republic. One of the strong acoustic correlates of implosives is increasing voicing amplitude during occlusion, which contrasts with a decreasing voicing amplitude for voiced plosives. Another acoustic property of implosives is the increased F0 during the occlusion, which continues all the way to the end of the following vowel.

- This paper examines the manifestation of downstep and intonation in the Tokyo and Kochi dialects of Japanese by using three types of syntactically balanced material - adjective phrases, adverbial phrases, and sentence modifiers. The main conclusion is that Kochi speakers produce a smaller Major Phrase consisting of fewer lexical accents than in the Tokyo dialect, the Major Phrase being defined as the domain of downstep. In addition, the two dialects differ considerably as to the distribution of F0 peaks in downstepping the lexical accents, the distance being greater in the Tokyo dialect. These findings support a prosodic typology of Japanese dialects in which the weight of accent and intonation differ.
