چکیده
The khap Tai Dam is the singing of the Tai Dam (or Black Tai) ethnic group. This paper presents the results of an ongoing research studying the relationship between spoken and sung tones in this specific repertoire. Two questions are addressed: (1) Are speech tones realised in khap Tai Dam singing? (2) Are the contours of speech and song similar or different in khap Tai Dam? The main results so far show that even without a strict parallel between spoken and sung tones, there is a correspondence between speech and singing in khap Tai Dam.
