- W34268571 abstract "Ngamo is a West Chadic Language spoken in Yobe State, Nigeria. Also spoken in Yobe State are Ngamo’s close linguistic relatives, Bole and Karekare as well as more distantly related Chadic languages. Ngamo has two major dialects: Yaya and Gudi. The Gudi dialect has undergone a striking sound change, referred to in this paper as the Great Ngamo Tone Shift (GNTS). In Gudi, tones have moved one Tone Bearing Unit (TBU) to the right (assuming a left-to-right writing system), with the initial domain being replaced with a default L. The first part of this paper describes the GNTS in detail, including certain lexical classes of words that have resisted it. The GNTS has had a profound effect on synchronic tonal alternations in Gudi Ngamo because it has created floating tones that dock to a following item. Most of this paper describes the details of tonal alternations in the Gudi dialect, both those resulting from docking of floating tones and other alternations that have been inherited from proto-Ngamo. One feature of interest is CV clitics, which typically apocopate their final vowel and cliticize as a –C coda to a preceding syllable but whose tonal effect shows up on the following word. Two rather brief sections situate Gudi tonal synchrony in a larger picture, first by comparing Gudi and Yaya tonal alternations, then by looking at the typology of tonal alternatiions in all the Chadic languages of Yobe State." @default.
