In this paper we explore the differences in syntactic structures between three types of Tai Phake songs, two traditional genres and one modern genre. Tai Phake (Tai Kadai/South Western Tai) is a tone language with six contrastive tones. The paper proposes that where a song style allows the realization of these tones in singing, greater freedom in syntactic structure is possible, and vice-versa. Another factor in this variation is the different rhymes and other poetic devices required by the different genres
