Resumen
SAN GIACOMO TRINIDAD, Marcela. The phonetics and phonology of tone in San Juan Tepeuxila Cuicatec. Cuad. Lingüíst. Col. Méx. [online]. 2017, vol.4, n.2, pp.83-136. ISSN 2007-736X.
In this article I present the first formal description of lexical tone contrasts in the Cuicatec language of San Juan Tepeuxila, Oaxaca. Using both qualitative and quantitative approaches to acoustic and phonological analysis, I propose a tone inventory at the syllable level. The work is based on recordings of isolated words -including many minimal pairs- that illustrate the oppositions of level and contour tones. Based on an instrumental analysis, I show significant differences that support the identification of four level tones, five contour tones (three rising and two falling) and three complex tones (two of them concave and one convex).
