          Abstract

          Resumen: En este artículo presento la primera descripción formal de los contrastes tonales léxicos del cuicateco de San Juan Tepeuxila, Oaxaca. A partir de un acercamiento cualitativo y cuantitativo, realizo un análisis acústico y fonológico para proponer su inventario tonal a nivel silábico. El análisis se sustenta en grabaciones de palabras aisladas -incluyendo un nutrido corpus con pares mínimos- que ilustran las oposiciones de tonos de nivel y de contorno. Con base en un análisis instrumental de la tonía, muestro diferencias significativas entre los tonos de esta lengua: cuatro tonos de nivel, cinco de contorno (tres ascendentes y dos descendentes) y tres complejos (dos cóncavos y uno convexo).

          Abstract: In this article I present the first formal description of lexical tone contrasts in the Cuicatec language of San Juan Tepeuxila, Oaxaca. Using both qualitative and quantitative approaches to acoustic and phonological analysis, I propose a tone inventory at the syllable level. The work is based on recordings of isolated words -including many minimal pairs- that illustrate the oppositions of level and contour tones. Based on an instrumental analysis, I show significant differences that support the identification of four level tones, five contour tones (three rising and two falling) and three complex tones (two of them concave and one convex).
