Tonogenesis in Kammu (or) When do tones leave the segment? Jan-Olof Svantesson (Lund) David House (KTH)

Kammu in northern Laos

Ban Tapaen, Laos, 1996

Production experiment Northern Kammu speaker Eastern Kammu speaker Average tone curves normalized for duration

Perception experiment

Is Kammu a tone language? Eastern Kammu has no lexical tones Northern Kammu –Tones still belong to the initial consonants –Tone system maximally simple (two level tones) minimally contrastive (acoustically similar) Tonogenesis is an ongoing process
