To expand the database for prosodic typology, a workshop on Intonational Phonology of Understudied or Fieldwork Languages was held in 2007, as a satellite meeting of the 16th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences in Saarbrücken, Germany. Nine languages presented at the workshop are included in the current volume. Five languages were solicited after the workshop either because the researcher could not participate in the workshop (Mongolian, Papiamentu) or because the language is relatively well-studied and thus did not meet the workshop theme (Portuguese, Catalan, Basque). The intonational phonological descriptions of two major languages which could not be included in the first volume (Spanish, French) are intentionally left out of the current volume as separate publications were already in progress to describe the intonational phonology and ToBI transcription systems of these languages: ten dialects of Spanish in Prieto and Roseano (eds. 2010, Lincom Europa) and French ToBI (Delais-Roussarie et al. forthcoming) in Prieto and Frota (eds. forthcoming, OUP) as part of a comparative intonational phonology survey of nine Romance languages. I am grateful to all the participating authors for their patience and their valuable contributions to this long-term project. I am also grateful to the many people who have been involved in the process of editing this book and organizing the Intonation Workshop: to Janet Fletcher, Carlos Gussenhoven, and Bob Ladd for serving as Advisory Committee members; to Janet Fletcher and Carlos Gussenhoven for serving as discussants; to Chad Vicenik and Sameer ud Dowla Khan for helping at the workshop registration desk; to Amalia Arvaniti, Gorka Elordieta, Caroline Féry, Janet Fletcher, Sónia Frota, Matthew Gordon, Martine Grice, Carlos Gussenhoven, Sam Hellmuth, José Hualde, Sameer ud Dowla Khan, Pilar Prieto, Tomas Riad, Marina Vigário, and four anonymous reviewers for reviewing individual chapters of the book; to Aiko Hieda Hemingway for preparing the CD-ROM; to Sameer ud Dowla Khan for normalizing the sound files for the CD-ROM and for proofreading many chapters in the book. Finally, I would also like to thank the Linguistics Editors of Oxford University Press, John Davey and Julia Steer; the copy-editor, Lucy Hollingworth; and the Production Editor, Jennifer Lunsford, for their guidance, patience, and encouragement. This work was partially supported by a UCLA Senate grant.

Aos meus pais À minha avozinha, a minha segunda mãe Abstract Included within a research project aiming to provide a detailed description of prosodic variation in European Portuguese (EP), the present study analyzes phrasing, intonation and rhythm in central-southern varieties using data from different types of tasks (reading task, Discourse Completion Task, Map Task). Following the Prosodic Phonology view of prosodic structure (e.g., Selkirk 1984, 1986, Nespor & Vogel 1986/2007) and the Autosegmental Metrical (AM) approach within the intonational phonology framework (e.g., Pierrehumbert 1980; Ladd 1996/2008), we examined the prosody of two regions of the south of Portugal (Alentejo – Ale –, and Algarve – Alg) relating to: (i) phrasing; (ii) tonal system and pragmatic meanings of tonal morphemes; (iii) pitch accent distribution, and (iv) rhythmic properties of each variety. The analysis of prosodic phrasing reinforces the relevance of the Intonational Phrase in EP. Segmental phenomena such as Fricative Voicing and Paragoge (the later only in Ale) cue the IP level, and length in number of syllables and syntactic/prosodic branching of phrases impact on intonational phrasing.

  • CORE STRENGTH WITHIN MONGOL DIASPORA COMMUNITIES Archaeological Evidence Places Early Stone Age Human Habitation in the Southern
    CORE STRENGTH WITHIN MONGOL DIASPORA COMMUNITIES Archaeological evidence places early Stone Age human habitation in the southern Gobi between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago 1. While they were nomadic hunter-gatherers it is believed that they migrated to southern Asia, Australia, and America through Beringia 50,000 BP. This prehistoric migration played a major role in fundamental dispersion of world population. As human migration was an essential part of human evolution in prehistoric era the historical mass dispersions in Middle Age and Modern times brought a significant influence on political and socioeconomic progress throughout the world and the latter has been studied under the Theory of Diaspora. This article attempts to analyze Mongol Diaspora and its characteristics. The Middle Age-Mongol Diaspora started by the time of the Great Mongol Empire was expanding from present-day Poland in the west to Korea in the east and from Siberia in the north to the Gulf of Oman and Vietnam in the south. Mongols were scattered throughout the territory of the Great Empire, but the disproportionately small number of Mongol conquerors compared with the masses of subject peoples and the change in Mongol cultural patterns along with influence of foreign religions caused them to fell prey to alien cultures after the decline of the Empire. As a result, modern days Hazara communities in northeastern Afghanistan and a small group of Mohol/Mohgul in India, Daur, Dongxiang (Santa), Monguor or Chagaan Monggol, Yunnan Mongols, Sichuan Mongols, Sogwo Arig, Yugur and Bonan people in China are considered as descendants of Mongol soldiers, who obeyed their Khaan’s order to safeguard the conquered area and waited in exceptional loyalty.

Primary Word Stress in Brazilian Portuguese and the Weight Parameter W. Leo Wetzels Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Abstract In this paper, we develop an analysis of primary word stress in Brazilian Portuguese (BP). We evaluate the typological and language-specific arguments that are presented in the literature against the relevance of syllable weight in Portuguese, and show that none of them appears to be valid when confronted with cross-linguistic evidence or the facts of BP phonology. We then go on to show that stress in BP represents a mixed system, in which verbs receive stress as a function of the morphological categories of tense (past, present, future), whereas stress in non-verbs is prosody-based and sensitive to the distinction between heavy and light syllables.

  • Brazilian Portuguese Interphonology: Consonant Clusters
    Running Head: INTERPHONOLOGY: CONSONANT CLUSTERS 1 Brazilian Portuguese Interphonology: Consonant Clusters Ciarra Proulx Northern Arizona University Running Head: INTERPHONOLOGY: CONSONANT CLUSTERS 2 Abstract This paper discusses how Brazilian students who study at the Program for Intensive English (PIE) at the Northern Arizona University (NAU) pronounce consonant clusters that are word-initial, -medial, and –final, in order to better understand their interlanguage phonology, particularly since most research on Portuguese phonology pertains to European Portuguese, not Brazilian Portuguese. Ten students were invited to participate, with the expectation that some will decline. Students filled out a background questionnaire and, using Praat, they were asked to say a set of 30 words containing consonant clusters in the three aforementioned positions, in order to pinpoint any consonant deletion, assimilation, or epenthesis. This data will be compared to the pronunciation of the same set of words by a native speaker of American English. Results showed that epenthesis was the highest occurring process, particularly word-initially, whereas deletion was most commonly found word-finally. Word-medially, all three processes occurred with similar frequencies. The results show the necessity of incorporating explicit pronunciation instruction, including consonant clusters, within the PIE in order to better aid students in their endeavors to quickly and efficiently learn enough English to move on to university instruction taught in English. Running Head: INTERPHONOLOGY: CONSONANT CLUSTERS 3 Background European Portuguese (EP) and Brazilian Portuguese (BP) have diverged to a point where, phonologically, BP warrants its own studies; however, research Portuguese phonology largely pertains to EP. One major difference is that BP has severe restrictions on consonant clusters on a phonological level, and that word-initially, some consonant clusters are possible, but only those containing an obstruent followed by a liquid (i.e., /p/, /t/, /k/, /b/, /d/, /g/, or /f/ plus /l/ or /r/).

  • On the Influence of Indigenous Languages on Brazilian Portuguese
    On the infl uence of indigenous languages on Brazilian Portuguese http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0102-445067692919987352 DEL TA On the infl uence of indigenous languages on Brazilian Portuguese Sobre a infl uência das línguas indígenas no português brasileiro Aryon D. RODRIGUES (Unicamp) The contact between the Portuguese and Brazilian Indians began early in the 16th century. Let’s recall that Brazil was discovered by the Portuguese in 1500 and that the settlement of Portuguese colonists started in 1530. By that time most of the Brazilian coast was occupied by the Tupinamba Indians, whose culture and language presented only very slight variation in spite of the great extension of their territory. Probably this extension without differentiation was due to a very re- cent expansionist movement, which was yet in course and could be observed in the beginning of the 16th century by the Portuguese (cf.
