    Tone and Accent in the Igbo Verb
    (Department of Languages and Linguistics, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2003-01-01) Anyanwu, Rose-Juliet
    The goal of this article is to give an account of the accentual properties of some aspects of the Igbo verb tone system. (Most of the examples are taken from Central Igbo.) The data presented here show that the Igbo verbal system exhibits characteristics somewhat similar to the types encountered in and already analyzed for Bantu languages and Japanese, respectively (cf., for instance Bickmore, Downing this volume, Jouannet 1989, Haraguchi 1991, Yoshida 1996, 1999). This implies that the Igbo verbal system might be considered as a mix of tone-stress and pitch-accent systems.

    Tones in Jukunoid languages
    (Department of Lanaguages and Linguisitcs, 2005-01-01) Anyanwu, Rose-Juliet

It comprises several languages all of which dispose of the SVO word order. Before addressing the topic directly, a succinct overĀ­ view of Jukunoid will be offered. This comprises linguistic-geographic classification and location of the languages, linguistic-historical background/research chronology as well as information on some basic characteristics in areas of phonology and morĀ­ phology. We distinguish Central and Southern Jukunoid language groups. I start with Southern Jukunoid
