Description

This book investigates the topics of tone, vowel harmony, and metrical structure, with special reference to Kera, a Chadic language spoken in Chad and Cameroon.

Kera is a tone language where a change in the pitch of the word can make a difference to its meaning.

Pearce looks at both the phonetics and phonology to examine how tone interacts with the vowel quality and rhythm of the language.
