ABSTRACT
The segmental tone analysis, appreciates each and every speech sound in altercation, both in articulation or deletion. Extant studies tend to see the tone as a purely suprasegmental feature of sounds in the language, but the current study seeks to depart from this position by advocating for tones to be treated as both a segmental and suprasegmental phenomena in Edo language .This work relies on data collected from interview of native speakers which was complemented by already published works. The analysis was done using an adapted combination of both linear and autosegmental phonology to analyze the data collected. Individual sound segments influences tone realization notably enough to justify the accreditation. It is the position of this work that tones be credited to being both segmental and suprasegmental.
