| Research Abstract |
Spontaneous speech corpora of Kyushu dialects of Japanese and of coastal dialects of a few Indian languages are analysed with a special focus on the tonal markers of prosodic boundaries. Prosodic systems of these dialects can be broadly termed as word tones in which tonal melodies, or a single melody, realize on a span of syllable sequence without a fixed accentual locus specified on the segment tier.
Reconstruction of prosodic changes through comparative method has been attempted for Kyushu dialects, which are shown to have retained the presumably original nature of proto-Japanese as word tones, without acquring the pitch accent as attested in later Honshu dialects of Japanese.
