  1. SP_ToBI 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.

  2. 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

  4. 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)

  5. Declaratives Bebe una limonada (He drinks a lemonade) L+>H* L+!H* L-L%

  6. 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%.

  8. Contrast No, de LIMONES (No, of LEMONS) L+H* H-!H% L+H* L-L%

  9. Yes-no questions ¿Tiene mermelada? (Have you got marmalade?) L*+H L* H-H%

  10. Disjunctive ¿Queréis melón o helado? L+H* L+H*H- L+H* L-L% (Would you like melon or icecream?)

  11. Wh-questions (1) ¿Qué hora es? (What time is it?) H+L* L-L%

  12. Wh-questions (2) ¿De qué pueblo has salido? L+>H* H+L* L-L% (From which village have you left?)

  13. Reiteratives ¿Que no vendrás? (Aren’t you coming?) L+>H* (L+)H* H-H%

  14. Commands Ven aquí ahora mismo (Come here at once) L+>H* H+L* L-L%

  15. Commands (exhortation/request) Va, vente al cine (Come on, come to the cinema) L*H-L% L*+H L+H*L-L%

  16. Combinations of tones in Castilian Spanish Prenuclear Nuclear Edge tones • Declaratives L+>H* (H-) L+!H* L-L% • Contrast L+H* L-L% • Yes-no questions L*+H L* H-H% • Wh-questions L+>H* H+L* L-L% • Commands (neutral) L+>H* H+L* L-L% • Disjunctives L+H* (H-) L+H* L-L% • Reiteratives L+>H* L+H* H-H% • Commands (request) L*+H L+H* L-L% • Other combinations • Exhortation L* H-L% • Sustained contour L+H* H-!H%
