  Tone (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All languages use intonation to express emphasis, contrast, emotion, or other such nuances, but not every language uses tone to distinguish lexical meaning.
When this occurs, tones are phonemes (discrete speech sounds), just like consonants and vowels, and they are occasionally referred to as tonemes.

 LISTSERV 14.4
Norwegian has a distinction between tonemes 1 and 2 in polysyllabic words only, in monosyllabic words there is no toneme distinction, and for phonetic and other reasons, one often reckons that all monosyllabic words have toneme 1.
The standard example of the toneme opposition in Norwegian is the distinction between /1boner/ 'farmers' and /2boner/ 'beans' (the /o/ is actually a roundeddistinction between /1boner/ 'farmers' and /2boner/ 'beans' (the /o/ is front high-mid vowel, like German o with an umlaut).
If these words occur as the second element in compounds however, the toneme distinction is lost, e.g./2he:dmarks,boner/ may mean either 'farmers from Hedmark' or 'beans from Hedmark'.

Words consist of a series of "tonemes", each held for an equal length, except for a single (usually near the middle) toneme which is held twice as long or for the duration of the embedded clause.
The same toneme cannot be used twice in a row.
Tonemes eligible to be a sustaining tone range from the fifth (3/2 frequency) to the semitone (16/15 frequency).

The semantic meaning or illocutionary force characteristic of this phonological pattern resides in the last member of the series (C) or last line of the stanza.
The way a phonological phrase ends, together with the phonological combinations the tonemes undertake to form larger units, constitutes the expressive semantic content of the phonological phrase.
  The preferred phonological extension of the toneme in the Spanish language is between seven and eight syllables, hence the use of the octosyllabic verse as the basis of popular poetry.

 CLCG: Linguistics Colloquium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Former studies of this phenomena have resulted in several different definitions, e.g.: "circumflex in the Sunndal dialect is a realization of toneme 2 in monosyllabic words" (Jenstad, 1985).
Jenstad also states that circumflex words usually are historically disyllabic words with toneme 2, that have apocoped the unstressed second vowel.
The traditional view is, as we saw in (1) above, that the distinction between the two Norwegian tonemes can only be realized over at least two syllables in Norwegian, but according to the circumflex definition above one may suppose that Norwegian dialects with the circumflex feature also realize this tonemic distinction in monosyllabic words.

Abstract: Introduction The present study is the continuation of the work on Norwegian tonemes reported in Van Dommelen and Nilsen (2002).
In that paper we investigated the perception of toneme 1 and 2 words in two North Norwegian dialects and found that toneme identification rates varied considerably across different words.
Analysis of the test words' acoustic characteristics suggested that toneme identification rate varied as a function of f 0 contour.

YR Chao's mistake is that he treats tones as phonemes, > and uses one set of symbols for two aspects of language.
As we know, in the case of chinese, the syllable tone IS a kind of phoneme(suprasegmental).The fact that it does not take any additional time to produce does not follow that it is not a phoneme.
As for whether it can also be termed "toneme", it is merely a matter of concept.

It first argues that in deep structure, Mandarin tones have the following representation: HHH for T1, MHH for T2, LLM for T3, HML for T4, and L for T0; except for T0, all are represented using three tonemes.
This account yields interesting insights into the neutral tone variation, which is seen as first triggered by the same OCP rule as that caused the Third Tone Sandhi, and then by feature spreading through tonal co-articulation.
Lengthy discussion on toneme as the timing unit, the Mandarin syllable structure, its weight and its dual tasks of bearing the tonal features on the one hand and the segmental features on the other can also be found in this dissertation.
