An Experimental Study on Possessive Marker and Stative Marker in Jino Language
Previous research on the Jino language reveals disagreements in the descriptions of the possessive particle/ɛ55/and the state particle/ɛ44/.Their acoustic characteristics have not yet been studied.Experimental research shows that in the Baka dialect,the possessive particle/ɛ55/has a fixed pitch target in speech flow,typically realized as a high tone(H tone),which naturally modi-fies the tone of the preceding syllable.Under certain conditions,it may also merge with the preceding syllable,and after merging,the tone inherits the high tone feature of/ɛ55/.This characteristic offers a new explanation for the tonal inflection phenomenon of the Jino language's possessive case.The pitch target for the state particle/ɛ44/is mid tone(M tone),and it lacks the ability to change the tone of the preceding syllable,and does not exhibit merging.Its acoustic manifestation is closer to the traditional descriptions of light tone.
