Regel van Meeussen Meeussen's rule
rdfs:comment
Meeussen's rule is a special case of tone reduction in Bantu languages. The tonal alternation it describes is the lowering, in some contexts, of the last tone of a pattern of two adjacent High tones (HH), resulting in the pattern HL. The phenomenon is named after its first observer, the Belgian Bantu specialist A. E. Meeussen (1912–1978). In phonological terms, the phenomenon can be seen as a special case of the Obligatory Contour Principle. De regel van Meeussen ("Meeussen's rule") is de naam van een speciaal geval van toonreductie in de Bantoetalen. De toonverandering die erdoor wordt beschreven bestaat in het dalen (→ L) van de laatste toon van twee opeenvolgende hoge tonen (HH) in sommige contexten, waardoor het patroon HL ontstaat. Het fenomeen is genoemd naar de bantoeïst (1912-1978), die het fenomeen voor het eerst beschreef. In fonologische termen kan het fenomeen worden gezien als een speciaal geval van het Obligatory Contour Principle.

dbo:abstract
Meeussen's rule is a special case of tone reduction in Bantu languages. The tonal alternation it describes is the lowering, in some contexts, of the last tone of a pattern of two adjacent High tones (HH), resulting in the pattern HL. The phenomenon is named after its first observer, the Belgian Bantu specialist A. E. Meeussen (1912–1978). In phonological terms, the phenomenon can be seen as a special case of the Obligatory Contour Principle. The term "Meeussen's Rule" (the spelling with a capital R is more common) first appeared in a paper by John Goldsmith in 1981. It is based on an observation made by Meeussen in his 1963 article on the Tonga verb stating that "in a sequence of determinants, only the first is treated as a determinant". It was John Goldsmith who reformulated this as the rule HH > HL (or, as he expressed it, H → L / H ) which later became well known as Meeussen's Rule. Meeussen's rule is one of a number of processes in Bantu languages by which a series of consecutive high tones is avoided. These processes result in a less tonal, more accentual character in Bantu tone systems, ending finally in a situation in which there tends to be only one tone per word or morpheme. De regel van Meeussen ("Meeussen's rule") is de naam van een speciaal geval van toonreductie in de Bantoetalen. De toonverandering die erdoor wordt beschreven bestaat in het dalen (→ L) van de laatste toon van twee opeenvolgende hoge tonen (HH) in sommige contexten, waardoor het patroon HL ontstaat. Het fenomeen is genoemd naar de bantoeïst (1912-1978), die het fenomeen voor het eerst beschreef. In fonologische termen kan het fenomeen worden gezien als een speciaal geval van het Obligatory Contour Principle.
