摘要:This paper takes as its point of departure a discrepancy in the Susu (Soso, Sosokhui, ISO: sus) tonology literature related to tone in nominal compounds (e.g. Houis 1963; Grégoire 1978; Touré 2004) and aims to advance the dialogue on Susu tone by considering the role that interacting tonological processes play in generating the surface tonal melodies in these and related constructions. While the data below may not be exhaustive, they bring to light the tonal behavior of wider variety of nominal constructions (e.g. more word shapes) that are not explored in detail in the Susu literature. By viewing these new data alongside what has been previously reported for Susu, we aim to better understand how tonal processes interact in the language.
