Abstract This paper describes the accentual patterns of Sino-Japanese compounds in Nagasaki Japanese. By investigating the accentual patterns of actual and nonce Sino-Japanese compounds, I demonstrated that th...e accentual pattern of a Sino-Japanese compound is determined by the mora length of the second element of the compound. If the second element of a Sino-Japanese compound consists of one mora, the compound is produced with a falling pattern (Type A), otherwise it is produced with a flat pattern (Tone B). Since the same generalization holds also in Standard Tokyo Japanese, the result strongly implies that the accentual patterns of Nagasaki Japanese are influenced by the accentual patterns of Standard Tokyo Japanese.show more
