ROUND TABLE - PROSODY Giovanna Marotta Università di Pisa Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005
Round Table • Maria Paola D’IMPERIO • Daniel HIRST • Philippe MARTIN Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005
Round Table • Proceedings ICPhS (1999; 2003) > 100 papers on intonation. • SpeechProsody (2002; 2004) > two thirds of papers on intonation. Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005
Round Table Development of studies on intonation • two different, autonomous, but conspiring elements contributed to the development of the research on intonation: • 1) applied research on the synthesis; • 2)non-linear phonological models Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005
Phonology of intonation • is it possible to deal with intonation in phonological terms?? • even in those systems where tone is not lexically contrastive? • caveat : F. de Saussure: the object of the research is given by the point of view assumed. Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005
Phonology of intonation - I 1.Which is the meaning of the word phonological ?? • I-language – E-language a tonal contrast might be phonological only if it engages a variation of meaning at the level of linguistic competence Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005
Phonology of intonation - II 2. Melodic variations relative to differences at pragmatic/sociolinguistic level may be considered as phonological? without being phonological, do they belong to the boundary levels of pragmaphonetics and sociophonetics? Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005
Phonology of intonation - III 3. Which kind of prosodic competence does the native speaker in a language where tone is not lexical? Is it of the same type of the awareness he has with respect to the segmental level of the phonetic string? Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005
Round Table - Material • a sample of utterances • different syntactic structure and pragmatic modality • five varieties of Italian: Florence, Rome, Naples, Palermo, Turin Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005
On a particular regional variety 1.Do you take into account the phonetic variation within a single variety? • How can it be coded? • 2.Regarding the variation due to pragmatic and paralinguistic phenomena: • would your preliminary analysis account for it? • which phenomena would be considered? • how would they be coded? Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005
Contrastive analysis of Italian varieties • 1.Which method would you use for the comparison? What would you compare? • 2. What type of differences should be present in order to speak of different phonological systems? Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005
According to your approach • 1.Which considerations can be made on the basis of this limited amount of data? • 2.What is the usefulness of (semi)spontaneous speech as material for prosodic analysis? • 3.According to you, what is the ideal material for studying prosody? Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005
