We investigate whether people predict pitch accent of an upcoming noun based on presence or absence of evidence for an accent change which we refer to as a Sandhi rule in Kansai dialects in Japanese using modifier-noun phrases like (1-4). When the modifier has an unaccented all-low tone as in (1-2), the tone of its final mora (genitive particle “no”) depends on the tone of the following noun. The final mora must have a high tone when the following noun begins with a low tone, and it must have a low tone when the following noun begins with a high tone. When the modifier has an unaccented all-high tone as in (3-4), the tone of its final mora does not vary depending on the tone of the following noun. Thus, the initial tone of the noun is predictable in (1-2) and unpredictable in (3-4). (1) Low (modifier) + Low (noun): shimashima no hikoːki (English: striped aeroplane), LLLL H LHLL (2) Low (modifier) + High (noun): shimashima no hitsuji (striped sheep), LLLL L HHH (3) High (modifier) + Low (noun): mizutama no ...
