Abstract

The development of tone in many languages is thought to arise from the phonologization of obstruent-intrinsic F0 (‘onset F0’; e.g. Hombert et al., 1979). While onset F0 effects are both robust and perceptible, the conditions under which listeners come to interpret them as a primary cue remain unclear. Here, we explore the idea that tonogenesis may involve a stage where VOT is inversely related to the magnitude of onset F0 (cf. Beddor, 2009).
