They not only gave me good advice, engaging discussions and supported me with my PhD research, they also gave me the freedom that I needed to find my own way. To my family, I´d like to say thank you so much for always supporting me in whatever I`ve chosen to do. So many people at the MPI-EVA have helped to make my work possible. In particular, I´d like to thank the nurseries, parents and children who took the time and effort to participate in my studies. Special thanks goes to Nadja Richter, Angela Loose and Manja Teich without whom testing wouldn´t have been possible; also to Henriette Zeidler and Annett Witzmann who put so much effort into organizing trips, working life and dealing with administrative questions. I owe a great deal to Roger Mundry who helped make my statistics a breeze, to the research assistants in Leipzig, as well as Petra Jahn and her team. Additionally, I wish to thank everyone at the Institut fur Phonetik, Köln. I`m very grateful to all those institutes from whom I´ve received helpful comments at colloquia and help with administrative problems. Additionally, I´d like to thank everybody in the Child Language group in Leipzig and Manchester for always being open to new (and sometimes crazy) research proposals. You´ve always supported my ideas, read my scripts - and joined me in celebrating Leipzig‘s night-life! You´ve all been an important part of my life for the last three years and, hopefully, you will continue to be so. Special thanks go to Sarah Girlich for being there when I needed your help with certain psychological questions, and Daniel Schmerse & Robert Hepach for those exciting kicker-games.

Finally I would like to thank Caro. You‘ve made so many sacrifices in order for us to share our lives together. I‘m grateful for every night and day you‘ve watched over me. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. iii iv Abstract This dissertation studies the role of intonation in language acquisition. After a general introduction about the phonetic and phonological aspects of intonation and its different forms and functions within language, two different models of language acquisition and the role of intonation within these two models will be presented. Following this, I will present and discuss empirical data on the question, whether young German learning children use intonation in order to acquire language. Two comprehension studies will be presented. Here, I concentrate on the question whether children understand the referential function of intonation and whether they can use this knowledge in order to learn new words. Additionally, I will present empirical evidence that focuses on the question whether children use intonation in resolving participant roles in complex syntactic constructions as well as in resolving syntactic ambiguities development. Finally, I will present two production studies that investigate the prosodic realization of target referents that have different informational statuses within a discourse from both young children and parents, talking to their children. Overall, the data from these studies suggest that language learning children do use the intonational form of an utterance from early on in order to understand another´s intention. Young language learning children do understand that a certain intonational form conveys a function. Additionally, the studies presented in this thesis suggest that children also use intonation in order to convey their own communicative intentions. Thus, intonation is an important instrument for young children‘s language acquisition as they use the information that is provided by intonation, not only to learn words and to combine them to syntactic constructions, but also for the understanding of paralinguistic properties of language. The findings of the studies presented in this thesis are discussed with regard to different theories of language acquisition. Additionally, I will give insight into the understanding of the development of young children´s use of intonation. v vi Contents Acknowledgements ................................................................................................... iii Abstract ..................................................................................................................... v Part I: Theoretical Background .................................................................................... 1 1.

  • Intonation Pitch and Stress – a Guide
    INTONATION PITCH AND STRESS – A GUIDE Say this sentence aloud and count how many seconds it takes. The beautiful Mountain appeared transfixed in the distance. Time required? Probably about 5 seconds. Now, try speaking this sentence aloud. He can come on Sundays as long as he doesn’t have to do any homework in the evening. Time required? Probably about 5 seconds! Wait a minute the first sentence is much shorter than the second sentence! You are only partially right! This simple exercise makes a very important point about how we speak and use English. Namely, English is considered a stressed language while many other languages are considered syllabic. Some words are given more emphasis and l o n g e r some words are quickly spoken, sometimes ‘eaten!’ Kenneth Beare The Basics : In English speech there are a combination of stressed (strong) and unstressed (weak) syllables. • It was the best car for them to buy. The syllable which is stressed the most is called the nuclear syllable. • It was the best car for them to buy. (Buy is the nuclear syllable.) The nuclear syllable carries the main focus of information. It also carries any new information. • We looked at the hatchback. (Hatchback is new information). • The hatchback was old. (Hatchback is given information. Old is new information). The nuclear syllable sounds louder than the other stressed syllables. It also has a change of pitch. Pitch movements : The two most common pitch movements are: 1. rising pitch yés 2. falling pitch yès Compare these replies: Q: When would it suit you to come? A: Nów? (The intonation expresses a question : would it be OK if I came now?) Q: When would it suit you to come? A: Nòw.

  • Downstep and Recursive Phonological Phrases in Bàsàá (Bantu A43) Fatima Hamlaoui ZAS, Berlin; University of Toronto Emmanuel-Moselly Makasso ZAS, Berlin
    Chapter 9 Downstep and recursive phonological phrases in Bàsàá (Bantu A43) Fatima Hamlaoui ZAS, Berlin; University of Toronto Emmanuel-Moselly Makasso ZAS, Berlin This paper identifies contexts in which a downstep is realized between consecu- tive H tones in absence of an intervening L tone in Bàsàá (Bantu A43, Cameroon). Based on evidence from simple sentences, we propose that this type of downstep is indicative of recursive prosodic phrasing. In particular, we propose that a down- step occurs between the phonological phrases that are immediately dominated by a maximal phonological phrase (휙max). 1 Introduction In their book on the relation between tone and intonation in African languages, Downing & Rialland (2016) describe the study of downtrends as almost being a field in itself in the field of prosody. In line with the considerable literature on the topic, they offer the following decomposition of downtrends: 1. Declination 2. Downdrift (or ‘automatic downstep’) 3. Downstep (or ‘non-automatic downstep’) 4. Final lowering 5. Register compression/expansion or register lowering/raising Fatima Hamlaoui & Emmanuel-Moselly Makasso. 2019. Downstep and recursive phonological phrases in Bàsàá (Bantu A43).

  • Rising) Or Circumflex (Falling) Intonation
    Syllables, intonations and Auslautgesetze MIGUEL CARRASQUER VIDAL Syllables and intonations In Greek, long vowels and diphthongs can have acute (rising) or circumflex (falling) intonation. The distinction directly reflects pre-Greek differences in intonation only in oxytone forms, due to the working of a set of accentological laws (the “law of limitation” and the “σωτῆρα”-rule) that make the choice between acute and circumflex automatic in non-final syllables. In Lithuanian, long vowels and diphthongs can also be acute or circumflex, although the acute has become a falling intonation, and the circumflex a rising one. Latvian has a falling intonation (`) corresponding to the Lithuanian circumflex, and two intonations (˜ and ^) corresponding to the Lithuanian acute: the “Dehnton” (˜) implies an originally stressed acute, the “Stoßton” or “broken (glottalized) tone” (^) an originally pretonic acute. In Old Prussian, the distinction is reflected orthographically on diphthongs only (falling/circumflex āi vs. rising/acute aī). In Slavic, the distinction has been neutralized in mobile paradigms (Meillet’s law), but is preserved in original barytones: acute stems remain barytone (a.p. a), while in circumflex (or short) root syllables the stress shifts forward by Dybo’s law (a.p. b). Finally, the Germanic Auslautgesetze also show a distinction in the reflexes of final acute vs. circumflex vowels and diphthongs. Given the above facts, it stands to reason to assign the distinction between rising and falling intonation on long vowels and diphthongs to Proto- Indo-European, or at least to the PIE dialect ancestral to Greek, Balto-Slavic and Germanic. However, a number of problems still remain. (1) the Greek and Balto-Slavic intonations do not always agree; (2) there is controversy over the Balto-Slavic reflexes of certain sequences (e.g.

  • Part 1: Introduction to The
    PREVIEW OF THE IPA HANDBOOK Handbook of the International Phonetic Association: A guide to the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet PARTI Introduction to the IPA 1. What is the International Phonetic Alphabet? The aim of the International Phonetic Association is to promote the scientific study of phonetics and the various practical applications of that science. For both these it is necessary to have a consistent way of representing the sounds of language in written form. From its foundation in 1886 the Association has been concerned to develop a system of notation which would be convenient to use, but comprehensive enough to cope with the wide variety of sounds found in the languages of the world; and to encourage the use of thjs notation as widely as possible among those concerned with language. The system is generally known as the International Phonetic Alphabet. Both the Association and its Alphabet are widely referred to by the abbreviation IPA, but here 'IPA' will be used only for the Alphabet. The IPA is based on the Roman alphabet, which has the advantage of being widely familiar, but also includes letters and additional symbols from a variety of other sources. These additions are necessary because the variety of sounds in languages is much greater than the number of letters in the Roman alphabet. The use of sequences of phonetic symbols to represent speech is known as transcription. The IPA can be used for many different purposes. For instance, it can be used as a way to show pronunciation in a dictionary, to record a language in linguistic fieldwork, to form the basis of a writing system for a language, or to annotate acoustic and other displays in the analysis of speech.

  • Perception of Intonation in Mandarin Chinese Author
    Title: Perception of intonation in Mandarin Chinese Author: Jihaong Yuan, University of Pennsylvania Running title: Perception of intonation in Mandarin Chinese Address: Jiahong Yuan 609 Williams Hall, University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT There is a tendency across languages to use a rising pitch contour to convey question intonation and a falling pitch contour to convey a statement. In a lexical tone language such as Mandarin Chinese, rising and falling pitch contours are also used to differentiate lexical meaning. How, then, does the multiplexing of the F0 channel affect the perception of question and statement intonation in a lexical tone language? This study investigated the effects of lexical tones and focus on the perception of intonation in Mandarin Chinese. The results show that lexical tones and focus impact the perception of sentence intonation. Question intonation was easier for native speakers to identify on a sentence with a final falling tone and more difficult to identify on a sentence with a final rising tone, suggesting that tone identification intervenes in the mapping of F0 contours to intonational categories and that tone and intonation interact at the phonological level. In contrast, there is no evidence that the interaction between focus and intonation goes beyond the psychoacoustic level. The results provide insights that will be useful for further research on tone and intonation interactions in both acoustic modeling studies and neurobiological studies. 2 Perception of intonation in Mandarin Chinese I. INTRODUCTION In a tone language such as Mandarin Chinese, F0 serves as the primary acoustic cue for both lexical tones and sentence intonation.

  • The Phonology of Tone and Intonation
    This page intentionally left blank The Phonology of Tone and Intonation Tone and Intonation are two types of pitch variation, which are used by speak- ers of many languages in order to give shape to utterances. More specifically, tone encodes morphemes, and intonation gives utterances a further discoursal meaning that is independent of the meanings of the words themselves. In this comprehensive survey, Carlos Gussenhoven provides an up-to-date overview of research into tone and intonation, discussing why speakers vary their pitch, what pitch variations mean, and how they are integrated into our grammars. He also explains why intonation in part appears to be universally understood, while at other times it is language-specific and can lead to misunderstandings. The first eight chapters concern general topics: phonetic aspects of pitch mod- ulation; typological notions (stress, accent, tone, and intonation); the distinction between phonetic implementation and phonological representation; the paralin- guistic meaning of pitch variation; the phonology and phonetics of downtrends; developments from the Pierrehumbert–Beckman model; and tone and intona- tion in Optimality Theory. In chapters 9–15, the book’s central arguments are illustrated with comprehensive phonological descriptions – partly in OT – of the tonal and intonational systems of six languages, including Japanese, French, and English. Accompanying sound files can be found on the author’s web site: http://www.let.kun.nl/pti Carlos Gussenhoven is Professor and Chair of General and Experimental Phonology at the University of Nijmegen.

  • Word Final Schwa Is Driven by Intonation – the Case of Bari Italian
    1 Word final schwa is driven by intonation – the case of Bari Italian 1 2 1,3 Martine Grice , Michelina Savino , & Timo B. Roettger 1University of Cologne, IfL-Phonetik 2University of Bari "Aldo Moro", Dept. of Education, Psychology, Communication 3Northwestern University, Department of Linguistics ABSTRACT In order to convey pragmatic functions, a speaker has to select an intonation contour (the tune) in addition to the words that are to be spoken (the text). The tune and text are assumed to be independent of each other, such that any one intonation contour can be produced on different phrases, regardless of the number and nature of the segments they are made up of. However, if the segmental string is too short, certain tunes – especially those with a rising component – call for adjustments to the text. In Italian, for instance, loan words such as “chat” can be produced with a word final schwa when this word occurs at the end of a question. This paper investigates this word final schwa in the Bari variety in a number of different intonation contours. Although its presence and duration is to some extent dependent on idiosyncratic properties of speakers and words, schwa is largely conditioned by intona- tion. Schwa cannot thus be considered a mere phonetic artefact, since it is relevant for phonology, in that it facilitates the production of communicatively relevant intonation contours. Keywords: tune-text association, epenthesis, intrusive vowel, Italian Acknowledgements This work was supported by funds for the Collaborative Research Center “1252 Prominence in Lan- guage” (German Research Council).
