(H. A. Gleason, "Review of African language studies...)

We should expect that general phonologic theory should be as adequate for tone as for consonants and vowels , but it has not been .

If , as I suspect , the problem is largely of the second sort , then development of a theory better able to handle tone will result automatically in better theory for all phonologic subsystems .

One issue that must be faced is the relative difficulty of analysis of different phonologic subsystems .

Since tone_systems typically comprise fewer units than either consonant or vowel_systems , we might expect that they would be the easiest part of a phonologic analysis .

Other pairs of phonologic subsystems also interact or overlap in this way ; for_example , duration sometimes figures in both the vowel_system and the intonation .
