Abstract
pitch-accent system: there is one syllable in each morpheme, described as the syllable, which must have its tonal properties specified; once the accented syllable and its tone type have been specified, the tonal properties of the remaining syllables in the morpheme are assigned in a rule-governed way. In Section 2, we show how the pitchaccent properties of Kairi morphemes can be elegantly described in terms of autosegmental theory. Section 3 deals with tone sandhi and other tone rules which apply when morphemes are combined into larger units.
