This paper points out that some utterance-final particles in Cantonese can bear different boundary tones, which gives rise to a set of quasi-homophones that contrast merely in pitch, e.g. (a) “aa”, “aa”, “aa” and (b) “wo”, “wo”, “wo”. These two sets of quasi-homophonous particles have four suprasegmental sources: “aa” is resulted from contraction of the compound “aa-haa”; the evidential marker “wo” is likely to have been grammaticalized from waa/waa “say”; the remainder emerged through localization of the boundary tones: [H] and [L]. The high tone of the particles originated from [H], which signals invitation of the interlocutor’s active participation in speech act, whereas the low tone originated from [L], whose pragmatic function is to indicate that the speaker does not expect the interlocutor to further participate in speech exchange.
