摘要
This paper describes the process of studying the notoriously complex verbal tone systems of Bantu languages through the systematic elicitation of paradigmatic data. The main thrust of this paper is the delineation of the factors known to influence tonal outputs in Bantu languages, providing background on the micro-typology of Bantu verbal tone systems, with discussion of how these considerations impact the data-gathering process.
