Intonation in African Tone Languages is written by Laura J. Downing and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 311049907X (ISBN 10) and 9783110499070 (ISBN 13).
This volume brings together two under-investigated areas of intonation typology. While tone languages make up to 70 percent of the world’s languages, only few have been explored for intonation. And even though one third of the world’s languages are spoken in Africa, and most sub-Saharan languages are tone languages, recent collections on tone and intonation typology have almost entirely ignored African languages. This book aims to fill this gap.
