This is a project to produce a phonological analysis of vowel                   length, tone, accent, and intonation in Luganda, a Bantu                        language, and to integrate this analysis into a theory of how                   syntax and phonology can interact in the grammar of a language.                 The alternative hypotheses of direct syntactic conditioning of                  phonological rules versus indirect conditioning mediated by                     syntactically-established phonological domains will be considered               in a book-length treatment of Luganda prosody.                                                                                                                  Luganda is an African language in which tone functions quite                    differently from the way it does in better-studied situations                   such as Japanese.  This project investigates current issues in                  phonological theory as it applies to the prosodic nature of                     language.
