Handling word boundary ambiguities with pitch
Post Body

I've been using a system where every morpheme starts with an unvoiced phoneme with the rest voiced. However, such a system is very phonotactically restrictive. I've come up with a different solution inspired by pitch accent:

  • Between words, pitch stays constant.
  • Within a word, pitch changes "in some way" on mora boundaries.

One might wonder why I don't use something like stress. That sort of thing doesn't work very well in a language that has a lot of single-mora words and contrastive vowel length. However, if your words are fairly long, some other kind of system would probably be preferable, like a unique pitch for the start of words.
