Chapter One: Introduction; Chapter Two: Theories of Tone: A Survey; Chapter Three: The Representation of Tone; Chapter Four: The Autosegmental Nature of Tone; Chapter Five: Tone in Phonological Representation; Chapter Six: The Mid Tone; Chapter Seven: Epilogue; Notes; Appendix; References; Index.
Summary: This book argues a fresh theory about the structure of tone. Bao investigates a wide range of tone sandhi data from various Chinese dialects and other Asian tone languages, providing empirical support for his proposal that tone is a formal entity which consists of register and contour. Bao establishes a clear typological distinction between register tone languages and contour tone languages whose contour tones have a more complex structure.
