Book Synopsis Syllable Weight in African Languages by : Paul Newman
Book excerpt: Syllable weight is a crucially important concept in phonology and morphology. African linguistics was critical in the original development of the concept and, as this book demonstrates, the concept is critical to our understanding of complex phenomena in African languages, including stress, tone, allomorphy, minimal word requirements, and metrics.
