Leading tones and downstep in English

Phonology, 1995
In early autosegmental studies certain segments were specially marked with a ‘star’ diacritic. These starred segments had a priority association; only in a later stage of the derivation were other segments associated. Starred associations were resistant to modification by subsequent rules: ‘the point is to preserve the prominence of the star ...

Phonetic realisation of downstep in Bimoba

Phonology, 1998
Few phonological phenomena have so captured the attention of theorists and continued to baffle them as the phenomenon of tonal downstep. Downstep is the lowering of the tonal register that sometimes occurs between adjacent, otherwise identical tones. It is cumulative, and successive occurrences of the phenomenon result in ever lower settings of the

The Relevance of Downstep for a Phonetic Component

1986
In this chapter, it will be shown that the study of downstep systems can shed light on the distinction between phonetic and phonological components. Downstep is particularly relevant in this respect because it involves the phonetic interpretation of phonological strings. Consider the following examples from Tiv, in which the phonetic pitch level of ga ‘

Syntactic and rhythmic effects on downstep in Japanese

Phonology, 1989
The past decade or so has seen increasing interest in prosodic research, and remarkable progress has been made in the study of accent and intonation, both empirical and theoretical. Research in Japanese intonation is no exception in this respect, as evidenced by such works as Poser (1984) and Beckman & Pierrehumbert (1986), among others, which have

Word domains and downstep in Bamileke-Dschang

Phonology Yearbook, 1985
The theoretical significance of the Bamileke-Dschang tone system has been evident since Tadadjeu (1974) first pointed out the unusual tonal oppositions found in this language. Whereas the majority of languages with tonal downstep permit this entity (!) only between high (or, perhaps more generally, only between non-low) tones, Dschang contrasts H and ...

A Dynamic Neural Model of Tonal Downstep

Downstep has been defined as a contrastive drop in pitch from a preceding tone, or a drop in pitch that cannot be explained by pitch declination. We arrive at a neural-process account of downstep in Bimoba HLH sequences by considering the general neural mechanisms that may underlie action selection and control.
