 note = {application/pdf, This paper aims at illustrating the whole mechanism operative in various tonal phenomena in Sandnes Norwegian, the dialect spoken in a south-western town Sandnes. Sandnes Norwegian is so-called stress accent language, and it has two tones, high-level and falling tones, appearing on a tonic syllable. The author formerly argued that the dialect, in the phonological/prosodic sense, has a falling tone alone, and the timing of a pitch movement relative to a tonic syllable is relevant feature in prosodic contrasts. There are, however, still two theoretical issues left open in the former interpretation: i) the necessity of morae as a bearer of a falling tone, ii) the phonological/prosodic nature of tones and tunes irrelevant to prosodic contrasts. In the present study, the author firstly attempts to solve one of those issues through arguing that the notion of mora lacks the explanatory power and raison d''etre in the phonology of Sandnes Norwegian. Then the author introduces Rhythm Units and Unit Tones based on the descriptive and theoretical frameworks of Accentology, an analytical method derived form the Japanese field linguistics, and claim that the two newly introduced notions are effectual in both explaining the several metrical and tonal phenomena and solving the other theoretical issue. Through the in-depth examination of those issues, the author proposes an alternative explanation that the two tones contrasting on the surface are reduced to one falling tone, and the distinction between the presence and absence, not the difference of a relative timing, of a falling tone on a tonic syllable is only relevant to tonal contrast. The author finally concludes that the alternative approach enables us to explain several tonal phenomena in the dialect in a more sophisticated, coherent and phonetically natural fashion., 学術論文},
