Abstract | This paper discusses the diachronic processes of tonal development of Tai languages. Tonogenesis is treated as the very first step of the arising of tones in proto-Tai. After tone arose, two groups of proto-initials (voiceless-voiced) conditioned primary tonal splits whereas splits conditioned by other pharyngeal features, such as aspiration and preglottalization represent stages of secondary development. Some secondary tonal split patterns result in three-way register splits. However, the bearing capacity of the tone numbers in a language often cause the third register to merge into one of the other two to make two-way register splits always be the mainstream. |
