Tone in Kejom (Babanki) associative construc Tone in Kejom (Babanki) associative construction

This article presents the associative construction (AC) in Kejom (Babanki), while focusing on the behaviour of tone. Kejom is a Grassfields Bantu language spoken in the North West Region of Cameroon. Tonal processes that occur in the Kejom AC have been accounted for using Register Tier Theory. The analysis reveals that the tonal processes are sensitive to a low-toned nasal that occupies the onset position of the noun roots involved. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that some tones must be singly-linked, and not doubly-linked for the tone rules to apply. This study provides a simpler analysis of the AC in this language, making use of only four tone rules without much recourse to underlying floating tones.


Cet article est consacré à une étude des tons dans les constructions associatives en Kejom (Babanki), une langue bantoue du grassfield parlée dans la région nord ouest du Cameroun. La Théorie de Registre en Paliers est utilisée pour expliquer les changements tonaux observés. L’analyse révèle que ces processus tonaux sont sensibles à une nasale à ton bas qui occupe l’attaque de la racine des noms concernés. Elle révèle également que certains tons doivent être associés à une seule unité porteuse de ton (pas à deux) pour que les règles tonales s’appliquent. Cette étude propose une analyse plus simple de la construction associative en Kejom, car elle utilise seulement quatre règles tonales et ne fait pas appel à des tons flottants de structure profonde.
