This paper presents the results of an acoustic investigation of lexical tone in the Dorik dialect of Lopit, an Eastern Nilotic language. Tonal phenomena in Nilotic languages are complex, and in many cases vastly underdescribed.

Tonal language speakers’ category boundaries and discrimination peaks were near the middle of the asymmetric continuum, wher...
