{"product_id":"tone-tone-moira-yip-9780521774451","title":"Tone Tone","description":"The sounds of language can be divided into consonants, vowels, and tones--the use of pitch to convey meaning. Seventy percent of the world's languages use pitch in this way. Assuming little or no prior knowledge of the topic, this textbook provides a clearly organized introduction to tone and tonal phonology. Comprehensive in scope, it examines the main types of tonal systems found in Africa, the Americas, and Asia, using examples from the widest- possible range of tone languages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Moira Yip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521774454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521774451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.52w x 0.96d","brand":"Moira Yip","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920065134847,"sku":"9780521774451","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_71d7425b-5363-4951-94da-7c19815fd9d7.jpg?v=1680813406","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tone-tone-moira-yip-9780521774451","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
