Several varieties of Scottish Gaelic have attracted interest in both descriptive and theoretical literature due to an interesting feature of their prosody, which involves contrasting laryngeal activity (pitch and glottalization) in segmentally identical forms. As an example, consider the difference between [ˈtuan] ‘hook’ (written dubhan) and [ˈtuan] ‘song’ (duan). As documented by Ladefoged et al.1 the first of these is realized in the dialect of Bernera (off the coast of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides) with a rising-falling contour, while the second one has a rising contour: an alternative way of describing the difference is analysing [ˈtuan] ‘hook’ as having an early pitch peak and [ˈtuan] ‘song’ as having a late one. An essentially identical contrast is found between words with and without a certain type of epenthetic vowel, traditionally called the svarabhakti vowel (underlined for clarity in the remainder for this paper). For instance, in the dialect of Bernera, the word [ˈpalɣak] ‘skull’ (ballag) has a high tone on the first vowel, comparable to the early peak of [ˈtuan] ‘hook’, while [ˈpalɣak] ‘belly’ (balg) has a rising pattern throughout both vowels, similar to the late peak in [ˈtuan] ‘song’. Descriptively, this contrast is extremely similar to “pitch accent” contrasts found in the North Germanic varieties of Sweden and Norway2 and in the West Germanic varieties of Limburg and
