An Annotated Bibliography on Tone. UCLA Working Papers in Phonetics 28.

This annotated bibliography, which has been entered into the SOLAR Bibliography File, focuses on the phonetics and phonology of tone, including studies on the physiology of phonation and pitch control, pitch perception, inherent pitch of vowels, the interaction of tone with musical melody in tone languages, and other related issues. An attempt has been made to cover all the major contributions to such subjects as the phonological representation of tone, the nature of downdrift, the interaction of pitch and consonant types, and to include many phonological descriptions of tone or "pitch accent" systems. The main entries, totaling 550, are listed in alphabetical sequence by author. In addition to the bibliographic citation, a list of keywords is provided for each entry. Abstracts are given for virtually all entries. An index is provided from an alphabetical listing of all the keywords, the language names and families, and the geographical areas of languages referred to in the entries. (KM)
