We argue that Asante Twi has a process of tonal overwriting on verbs that are crossed by an A’-dependency. It is shown that this view captures the distribution of the process across ex-situ focus constructions, relative clauses and adverbial clauses, which are all contexts involving operator movement. Furthermore, we illustrate that this process is unbounded and applies to each verb in a long-distance dependency. We therefore conclude that this is a reflex of successive-cyclic movement through vP. Additionally, we provide a detailed study of resumption in Asante Twi, showing that despite island-insensitivity, resumption is still derived by movement. Finally, the morpho-phonological side of the phenomenon is investigated. It is shown that overwriting affects only those affixes below v and not those above, which follows from cyclic Vocabulary Insertion. This provides support for Kandybowicz’ (2017) assumption that aspect and negation are lower than vP in Asante Twi.

Asante Twi 中运动的音调反射

我们认为 Asante Twi 对被 A' 依赖性交叉的动词有一个音调覆盖过程。结果表明，该视图捕获了过程在易位焦点结构、关系从句和状语从句中的分布，这些都是涉及操作员移动的上下文。此外，我们说明这个过程是无界的，适用于长距离依赖中的每个动词。因此我们得出结论，这是通过 vP 的连续循环运动的反射。此外，我们提供了对 Asante Twi 恢复的详细研究，表明尽管岛屿不敏感，恢复仍然是由运动产生的。最后，研究了该现象的形态语音方面。结果表明，覆盖仅影响 v 以下的词缀，而不影响 v 以上的词缀，它来自循环词汇插入。这为 Kandybowicz (2017) 的假设提供了支持，即在 Asante Twi 中方面和否定低于 vP。
