Tonal Inversion in Geji and Pelu
نویسندگان
چکیده
Henry Tourneux, in his 2007 article “L’inversion tonale en kotoko” (Tourneux 2007) drew our attention on a phenomenon concerning systematic tone variations contrasting a Low and High final tone in the tone patterns of two dialects of Kotoko. A similar phenomenon was observed in our study of Geji, a Chadic language spoken in Bauchi State, Nigeria. This paper aims at documenting this variation and accounting systematically for it with a set of simple phonological rules. Geji belongs to the South-Bauchi-West (SBW) branch of Western Chadic languages. The internal classification of SBW languages in (Table 2) below is adapted from (Shimizu 1978; Lewis 2009).

Numerical study on the acoustic field of a centrifugal fan and the tonal noise sources
The widespread use of squirrel cage fans, especially in ventilation and home and industrial environments, has led to the formation of many research efforts to improve performance and reduce the sound produced by this type of fan. In the literature, the most important factor in generating sound in this category of fans is the confrontation between the rotor exit flow and the volute of the fan. I...
متن کاملDiscretized Adjoint State Time and Frequency Domain Full Waveform Inversion: A Comparative Study
This study derives the discretized adjoint states full waveform inversion (FWI) in both time and frequency domains based on the Lagrange multiplier method. To achieve this, we applied adjoint state inversion on the discretized wave equation in both time domain and frequency domain. Besides, in this article, we introduce reliability tests to show that the inversion is performing as it should be ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Effective Parameters on Phase Inversion Hold-up in Continuous Mixer-settler
In this paper, we studied effect of different parameters including density, viscosity, interfacial tension and solute transfer concentration on phase inversion hold-up. The results showed that change in phase density ratio had no effect on phase inversion hold-up. It also disclosed that the phase viscosity ratio was the most effective parameter affecting phase inversion hold-up and each phase h...

Here in, an application of a new seismic inversion algorithm in one of Iran’s oilfields is described. Stochastic (geostatistical) seismic inversion, as a complementary method to deterministic inversion, is perceived as contribution combination of geostatistics and seismic inversion algorithm. This method integrates information from different data sources with different scales, as prior informat...
