“…Inflectional marking by tone includes TAM and negation, while derivational marking can code the passive, causative, applicative and reciprocal verb forms. A further distinction for morphological tone is that it may be replacive or additive (Feist & Palancar 2016). Clearly, the Sinitic perfective tone change discussed above is inflectional and replacive of the tone on the verb stem.…”

“…above, research on the morphological use of tone in East and Southeast Asian languages is at an early stage. Lexical tone is intimately linked to the segmental morpheme such that few languages in this region reveal the kind of tone contours and tone spreading found in many Bantu and other languages of Africa (cf Hyman 2014), nor the complex tone patterns of Oto-Manguean languages of Central America, such as Cuicatec (Feist & Palancar 2016). Yet, despite the differing typological profiles of the aforementioned languages vis-à-vis Sinitic, these analyses point to the fact that the pathways of evolution for morphological tone we have proposed in the preceding sections are not specific to Sinitic languages.…”

Tone morphemes in sinitic: Where prosody meets morphology

Tone morphemes are used in the coding of a variety of grammatical functions in Sinitic languages: These include plural formation of personal pronouns, the diminutive forms of nouns, as well as different kinds of perfective and completive aspect marking, reported for dialects located in non-contiguous areas of China in the north and the south. With respect to verbal morphology, we first examine the different processes and stages of morphologization between the Yue and Hakka dialects, on the one hand, and Northern Sinitic on the other. Second, we propose the pathway of evolution that leads to the pluralization of Sinitic pronouns by tone morphemes, as well as the pathway that leads to tone morphemes coding perfective aspect in Yue and Hakka. 摘要: 声调语素用于编码汉语方言中的各种语法功能：以中国境内南北方非相邻地区的汉语方言为实证，我们发现汉语方言中的"声调语素"具有多种语法功能，包括指示人称代词的复数形式、指示名词的小称形式、及标记不同种类的完整体和完成体等。就动词形态而言，我们首先考察粤语、客家话和北方汉语之间不同的发展过程和形态化阶段；再者，提出汉语中由声调语素导致的人称代词复数化演变路径，以及在粤语和客家话中声调语素指示完成体的另一演变路径。

“…INALI () lists three varieties, which Kaufman (: 120) considers a single language. Longacre () deals with Cuicatec historical phonology in some detail, and though a lengthy bilingual dictionary (Anderson & Concepción Roque, ) and a few descriptive works exist (Bradley, ; Davis & Walker, ; Feist & Palancar, ; Needham & Davis, ), Cuicatec remains one of the least documented and described Otomanguean subgroups.…”

This is the second of two articles that survey and assess progress and prospects in the historical linguistics of the Otomanguean language family, which is the most widely distributed and most diverse linguistic lineage of Mesoamerica. While considerable progress has been made in understanding the linguistic and cultural history of Otomanguean, in some ways, it remains the Mesoamerican language family about which we know the least. It consists of eight major subgroups: Mè'phàà‐Subtiaba, Chorotegan, Oto‐Pamean, Chinantec, Mixtecan, Amuzgo, Zapotecan, and Popolocan. While the first article of this series addressed the historical linguistics of the higher levels of the Otomanguean family, this article focuses on the eight major subgroups, especially progress in their reconstruction, internal subgrouping, and areas in need of further research.

“…Por ejemplo, deberá reanalizarse la propuesta tonal de este trabajo en contextos más amplios como frases marco, oraciones y habla libre; describir la función flexiva del tono (cf. el análisis del cuicateco de Santa María Pápalo en Feist & Palancar 2016), así como buscar respuestas en variables extralingüísticas para poder corroborar dicha afirmación (San Giacomo 2016a).…”
