First published in 1999, this book has not lost its relevance; it will stimulate the seasoned linguist and provide valuable instruction to students of phonology and tone.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Geometry and Features of Tone describes Register Tier Theory (RTT). Couched within the broader theories of autosegmental phonology and feature geometry, RTT is a model for representing tone phonologically: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewhat features are involved, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehow the features relate to tone-bearing units, and\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehow the features interact with one another.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFollowing brief introductions to autosegmental phonology and lexical phonology, as well as following a relatively abstract treatment of RTT, case studies are presented of diverse types of register phenomena.
