ROUND TABLE - PROSODY

Delve into the development and analysis of intonation, phonology, and prosody in Italian varieties, examining linguistic competence and regional variations. Explore the synthesis of speech, nonlinear phonological models, and pragmatic influences on tonal patterns. Discover the complexities of phonological systems and the ideal methods for comparative analysis.

  1. ROUND TABLE - PROSODY Giovanna Marotta Università di Pisa Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005

  2. Round Table • Maria Paola D’IMPERIO • Daniel HIRST • Philippe MARTIN Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005

  3. Round Table • Proceedings ICPhS (1999; 2003) > 100 papers on intonation. • SpeechProsody (2002; 2004) > two thirds of papers on intonation. Salerno- AISV 12-1-2005

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. 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
