Coordinator: Eva Estebas-Vilaplana. Participants: Lluïsa Astruc, Valeria Arana, Bettiana Blazquez, Mercedes Cabrera, Alejandra Dabrowski, Ana Estrella, Leopoldo Labastía, Pilar Prieto, M. Dolores Ramírez Verdugo, Francisco Vizcaíno Ortega.

Aims 1) Present some of the latest findings in the transcription

of Sp_ToBI in the following varities:

-Castilian

-Canarian

-Argentinian

-Ecuadorian

-AMPER project-Madrid

3

2) Analyse the tone shapes associated to stressed syllables and phrase edges in the following contours:

Declaratives Contrast Yes-no questions Disjunctives Wh-questions Reiteratives Commands (exhortation/request)

The contours were recorded in an interview which elicits semi-spontaneous sentences

Castilian Spanish (Eva Estebas-Vilaplana, UNED, Pilar

Prieto, ICREA-UAB)

Two levels of prosodic structure: The intonation phrase: H%, !H%, L% The intermediate phrase: H-, !H-, L- (as in Nibert,

2000 and Hualde 2002)

Pitch accents: Nuclear position: L+H* (L+!H*), H+L*, L* Prenuclear position: L*+H, L+H*, L+>H* (as in Face

and Prieto, 2007)

Declaratives (long subject)La niña morena come mandarinas L+>H* L+>H* H- L+>H* L+!H* L-L% (The girl with brown hair is eating mandarines)

7

Why L+>H*? Three-way contrast of rising accents (Face and Prieto, 2007)

L*+H L+H* L+>H* (late-rising) (non-delayed peak) (delayed peak)

Why L+!H* (vs. H+L*)? Phonetic reason: sometimes slight F0 peak.

Phonological reason: one pitch accent declaratives are analysed as L+H*L-L%.

Open questions:

Pitch accents1. The modelling of the final pitch accent in

declaratives with and without prenuclear accents.

2. Is the 3-way contrast in prenuclear rising accents phonologically relevant?

Edge tones1. The role of the phrase accent in Sp-ToBI.2. The formal representation of final mid pitch. 3. Complex boundary pitch movements.
