Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2019 Autosegmental representations (ARs; Goldsmith, 1976 ) are claimed to enable local analyses of otherwise non-local phenomena Odden ( 1994 ). Focusing on the domain of tone, we investigate this ability of ARs using a computationally well-defined notion of ...
