Description | Abstract of the paper: Cháʔknyá, Tataltepec de Valdés Chatino (ISO 639-3: cta) has a tonal system wherein four tones (three level and one contour) are arranged in sequences of zero to two tones. Synchronically, the tone system is unusual in having a typologically unexpected set of levels (Low, High and Superhigh rather than Low, Mid and High) and the presence of a floating tone which never appears outside of the stem it is associated with. Diachronically, the tone system show signs of being a simplified version of the Proto-Coastal Chatino system which underwent a tonal apheresis, leading to both the fusion of certain etymological sets and a high frequency of singleton tone sequences rather than sequences formed of pairs of tones. |
