Phrasal phonology in Copperbelt Bemba
Copperbelt Bemba exhibits several rightward spreading tonal processes which are sensitive to prosodic phrase structure. The rightmost H tone in a word will undergo unbounded spreading if the word is final in a phonological phrase (φ). In an intonational phrase consisting of several single-word φ's, the rightmost H in the first word will spread through all following toneless φ's. From a rule-based perspective, this can only be accounted for by pos…

Ternary spreading and the OCP in Copperbelt Bemba
Bemba tonology has been described with respect to two prominent claims: H tone local spreading is binary, and is blocked by the OCP. These claims are based on Bemba, as spoken in Northern Zambia. This paper examines these two claims with respect to contemporary Bemba as it is spoken today in the Copperbelt province of Zambia. This paper shows that in Copperbelt Bemba (CB), these two aspects of H tone spreading are markedly different. In CB, local…
Downstep and fusion in Namwanga
Namwanga is a Bantu language spoken in the Northern province of Zambia.In this paper I would like to present an overview of Namwanga verbal tonology, specifically focusing on the issue of where downstep occurs and how best to account for it. It will be argued that the surface distribution of downstep can be most insightfully accounted for if one assumes that many of the underlying H's fuse together. Determining which H's fuse and which do not is …

Refining and Formalizing the Tahitian Stress Placement Algorithm
L'A. propose une synthese des etudes sur la place de l'accent en tahitien. Il montre que les diphtongues et les voyelles longues jouent un role comparable mais distinct dans l'attirance de l'accent principal en tahitien. En particulier, l'accent se place sur la syllabe finale si elle contient une diphtongue ou une voyelle longue ; dans le cas contraire, sur l'antepenultieme si elle contient une voyelle longue et que la penultieme est non-accentue…
Tone and stress in Lamba
It has long been observed that not all languages fit neatly into a ‘stress’ vs. ‘tone’ dichotomy. Recent research has concentrated on how to account formally for ‘hybrid’ prominence systems which have been argued to exhibit both metrical and tonal properties
Lexical extraprosodicity in Chilungu
Nouns in Chilungu, a Bantu language spoken in Zambia, exhibit more tonal distinctions synchronically than exist in many modern Bantu languages. There exists a five-way distinction in nouns with CVCV sterns and a four-way distinction in nouns with monosyllabic stems. We show that any synchronic analysis which assumes a two-way tonal distinction for each Tone Bearing Unit (e.g., H vs. L, or H vs. ¢) cannot predict the attested number of surface ton…
Multiple phonemic stress levels in Kinyambo
I have argued that a prohibition on multiple phonemic stress levels cannot be made to follow from (46a) and/or (46b), as neither are absolute principles cross-linguistically. I have also suggested that while (46c) may be a strong cross-linguistic tendency, it does not follow from any deeper theory-internal principles, but rather, must be stipulated. Thus, the claim that Kinyambo has multiple phonemic stress levels necessitates no substantive chan…
