Bao presents a theory of tone which supports the typological distinction between African-type tone languages and Asian-type tone languages. He argues for a novel structure of tone, and supports it with data from Chinese dialects and other Asian languages.
Finally a book all about tone!...Bao's survey of the development of tone theory is excellent, and is an excellent educational resource on the topic...This book could be a stepping stone to further developments for a tonal theory that is truly universal. * Notes on Linguistics *
