This book breaks new ground in language studies with its detailed analysis of the relatively unknown Nigerian language Kalabari-Ijo. A language from the Niger-Congo region, Kalabari-Ijo contains puzzling tonal configurations that have so far eluded researchers' efforts to create coherent descriptive analyses. This study determines that right-to-left association is the best method of analysis for Kalabari-Ijo and also proposes that both morphosyntactic and semantic input be included in the tone system rules. Otelemate Harry's innovative work provides new evidence for morphological and semantic input in phonology theory and launches a new platform of scholarship in African language studies.
