Tone is the use of pitch in language to distinguish lexical or grammatical meaning – that is, to distinguish or to inflect words. All verbal languages use pitch to express emotional and other paralinguistic information and to convey emphasis, contrast, and other such features in what is called intonation, but not all languages use tones to distinguish words or their inflections, analogously to consonants and vowels. Languages that do have this feature are called tonal languages; the distinctive tone patterns of such a language are sometimes called tonemes /ˈtoʊniːm/, by analogy with phoneme. Tonal languages are extremely common in Africa, East Asia, and Central America, but rare elsewhere in Asia and in Europe; as many as seventy percent of world languages may be tonal.
In many tonal African languages, such as most Bantu languages, tones are distinguished by their pitch level relative to each other, known as a register tone system. In multisyllable words, a single tone may be carried by the entire word rather than a different tone on each syllable. Often, grammatical information, such as past versus present, "I" versus "you", or positive versus negative, is conveyed solely by tone.

It takes more than vowels and consonants to speak a tonal language. You need musical pieces called "tonemes" to make meaning. Here's how tones work. This animated video tours the linguistics of tonality - how some languages pay attention to changes in pitch. Learn the basics of tonemes. Think about the difference between register tones and contour tones. Meet some singsongy examples, including the dreaded six tones of Cantonese!

This E-Lecture is a direct continuation of PDE Suprasegmental Phonology I. It discusses the effect of pitch variation in PDE, exemplifies tonal effects in a tone language, and discusses the phonological, i.e. functional effects of the placement of tone-unit boundaries and the effects of choosing a particular tone for a nucleus in a PDE utterances.
In this video, Chris English briefly outlines the five main tones of the English language. Yes, some of these tones are used in other languages as well, but it's important to realise their ability to create meaning in English.

How do different languages play with pitch to create differences in meaning? How do we tell where stress falls? In this week's episode, we look at stress and foot structure: how languages use tone, pitch, and stress; how we can build different kinds of feet; and how where we place our stress can change the way we emphasize our sounds.

This E-.Lecture discusses the effect of stress in Present-Day English. After an overview of stress from a phonetic and phonological point of view, aspects such as lexical stress, shift stress and weaking are investigated and exemplified. Furthermore, the stress-timed character of PDE is compared with Italian, one of the best known syllable-timed language.
This E-Lecture discusses and exemplifies the main parameters of language classification: structural parameters, such as analytic vs. synthetic, word order properties, i.e. the ordering of the main functional elements subject, verb and object, as well as suprasegmental phonological criteria, e.g. tone and rhythm.
This E-Lecture provides a phonetic description of the main suprasegmental features: loudness, pitch and length. In addition to these main suprasegmental features, a discussion of secondary articulation as well as co-articulatory effects is appended including as many examples as possible..
'I can't learn a tonal language like Thai, Chinese or Vietnamese - I'm tone deaf!' If that were the case, does that mean that tone deafness only afflicts people who don't speak tonal languages? I have wanted to make this clip for a long time. Since starting my latest binge of making language videos, I have been receiving up to 10 emails an hour of people suggesting topics and asking questions. Of all of those emails, about 30% of them include requests for a lesson on tonal languages and how to go about learning tones. When I was shooting this clip, I did a whole lot of sections on Chinese - Cantonese, Mandarin and Vietnamese tones also. I decided to trim it down for time's sake and also so that I could keep it focused in one direction and make it most useful to most people. I wil...

William Welmers once considered Wukari Jukun as his candidate for the world's language, if only one were allowed. Wukari Jukun is a tone language, and this is an original introduction to the difference between intonation contours and tone, by way of comparing features of English and Wukari Jukun. Actually, the language is not exotic in the area where it is spoken as a mother-tongue. It's the regular language in the market and on the streets. Nelle (my wife) and I lived in Wukari and in a nearby smaller village for almost eleven years, and our specific work was to analyze this lovely language with the intent of developing a clear system for writing it. We constructed a very basic grammar of the language and wrote various primers for literacy work, in addition to helping the local church t...

A low-pitched, creaky tone of voice called vocal fry is increasingly common among young American females. Duke University Fuqua School of Business professor Bill Mayew wondered whether this tone affected the way people -- particularly women -- were perceived. Mayew explains why vocal fry could be hurting women's chances of being hired.

We're really excited to have gotten to interview Lisa Pearl recently! Dr. Pearl is an Associate Professor at the University of California, Irvine, and the director of their Computation of Language Laboratory. She’s published numerous articles on how to use statistical models to check different hypotheses about what kids do to learn language, as well as about natural language processing and textual analysis. We’ve been talking about her work since our very first episode!
