In 1976 John Goldsmith introduced autosegmental phonology.

Indeed, the development of autosegmental phonology was largely motivated by the need for a satisfactory theoretical framework to deal with the tonal grammars of Niger Congo languages.
3.
Prosodic analysis paved the way to autosegmental phonology, though many linguists, who do not have a good background on the history of phonology, do not acknowledge.
4.
Autosegmental phonology later evolved into feature geometry, which became the standard theory of representation for theories of the organization of phonology as different as lexical phonology and optimality theory.
5.
As a theory of phonological representation, autosegmental phonology developed a formal account of ideas that had been sketched in earlier work by several linguists, notably linear sequence of segments; each linear sequence constitutes a separate tier.
6.
In autosegmental phonology, with articulated conceptions about associations between featural melodies and skeletal units ( i . e . CV phonology, see,,, ), moraic phonology ( Hyman 1985, Hayes 1989 ), the OCP was considered to be relevant to adjacent singly linked melodies but not to doubly linked melodies.
7.
Autosegmental phonology was motivated by the need to represent properties which seem to span several " segments " ( in our case, syllables ) and seem to be somewhat independent of them . " Underlyingly " ( that is, in the speaker's lexicon ), some, but not necessarily all, of the segments of morphemes are associated with one or more properties.
