Thesis (M.A.)

Includes bibliographical references

Varieties of Mixtec (an Oto-Manguean language group spoken in southern Mexico) have often been analyzed as having a three-way tonal distinction: Low, Mid and High. I present evidence from original research on simple, alienable nouns, that only two lexical tones, /H/ (corresponding to the traditional Mid tone) and /L/, where some H tones are floating, are needed to describe noun roots in Acatlan Mixtec. In essence, the extra-H tone (corresponding to the traditional Hi tone) only occurs in derived environments, which involve the interaction of tones from two or more morphemes. The bulk of the analysis uses H and L to represent the two tones, but in the final section I will present evidence that low tones are underlyingly unspecified.

520 $a Varieties of Mixtec (an Oto-Manguean language group spoken in southern Mexico) have often been analyzed as having a three-way tonal distinction: Low, Mid and High. I present evidence from original research on simple, alienable nouns, that only two lexical tones, /H/ (corresponding to the traditional Mid tone) and /L/, where some H tones are floating, are needed to describe noun roots in Acatlan Mixtec. In essence, the extra-H tone (corresponding to the traditional Hi tone) only occurs in derived environments, which involve the interaction of tones from two or more morphemes. The bulk of the analysis uses H and L to represent the two tones, but in the final section I will present evidence that low tones are underlyingly unspecified.
520 $a Acatlan Mixtec (spoken chiefly in the state of Puebla, Mexico) has attracted some attention due to the claim made in E. Pike and Wistrand (1974) that the typologically uncommon tonal process known as "iterative upstep" exists in this variety of Mixtec, and its theoretical implications potentially dispute the universal nature of the Obligatory Contour Principle (Snider 1988, Snider 1999 and Aronovich 1994). Although upstep is beyond the scope of this thesis, this study lays the groundwork for exploring upstep in Acatlan Mixtec in the future, especially the description of the raising effects of floating H tones.
520 $a I propose that only six underlying tone patterns account for all noun roots (/H/, /L/, /LH/, /HL/, /HLH/ and /LH/). I also propose that three tone processes (Hi-tone spreading, Hi-tone raising, Hi-tone lowering) and an OCP condition (the two-slot condition, which is an instantiation of the Obligatory Contour Principle described in this study) account for the surface realizations of these nouns.
520 $a Muchas variedades del mixteco, una lengua otomangue hablada en el sur de Mexico, han sido descritas como lenguas con tres tonos: Bajo, Medio y Alto. En esta tesis presento evidencia basada en una investigacion original sobre los sustantivos simples alienables para demostrar que solo dos tonos lexicos son necesarios para describir las raices nominales del mixteco de Acatlan, /A/ (que corresponde al tono Medio tradicional) y /B/. Algunos de los tonos altos son tonos flotantes. Esencialmente, el tono extra A (que corresponde al A tradicional) solo ocurre en ambientes derivados en los que interactuan los tonos de dos o mas morfemas. En mayoria del analisis uso A y B para representar a los dos tonos, pero en la ultima seccion presento evidencia de que los tonos bajos no estan especificados en la forma subyacente.
520 $a El mixteco de Acatlan (hablado sobre todo en el Estado de Puebla, Mexico) ha atraido algo de atencion debido a la propuesta en E. Pike and Wistrand (1974) de que un proceso tonal poco comun tipologicamente conocido como "ascenso iterativo" existe en esta variante, cuyas implicaciones teoricas ponen en duda la universalidad del principio del contorno obligatorio (Snider 1988, Snider 1999 y Aronovich 1994). Aunque el ascenso tonal no es el objeto de estudio de esta tesis, este analisis proveera una base para explorar el ascenso tonal en el futuro, sobre todo la descripcion de los efectos ascendentes de los tonos altos flotantes.
520 $a Propongo que unicamente se requieren seis patrones tonales para representar las formas subyacentes de todas las raices nominales (/A/, /B/, /BA/, /AB/, /AB(A)/ y /B(A)/). Tambien propongo que tres procesos tonales (la extension del tono alto, la elevacion tonal del tono alto y la depresion tonal del tono alto) y una condicion del principio del contorno obligatorio (la condicion de las dos casillas, la cual es un caso del principio del contorno obligatorio que describo en esta tesis) generan las formas foneticas de estos sustantivos.
