The Necessity for an Intermediate Phrase in Korean Intonational Phonology
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been claimed that there are only two prosodic levels – accentual phrase and intonational phrase – in Seoul Korean. This paper demonstrates the necessity for one more phrase level – an intermediate phrase. It is shown that the intermediate phrase is a domain of F0 range reset, and the intermediate phrase level can be distinguished from the accentual phrase and the intonational phrase by its F0 and the duration of its phrase-final syllable.

Intonational phonology and prosodic hierarchy in malay
This paper presents original data in support of a new model of intonational phonology for Malay as spoken in Singapore. Building on the Autosegmental-Metrical approach (Beckman & Pierrehumbert, 1986), we propose that intonational variation in Malay can be explained in terms of underlying sequences of abstract tonal units (H and L), which are aligned to the edges and internal syllables of prosod...

This study proposes an Autosegmental-Metrical model of Turkish intonation based on sentences produced in neutral focus, as part of our ongoing research investigating Turkish intonational phonology. Tonal patterns of utterances were examined by varying the length of a word and a phrase, the location of stress, syntactic structures, and sentence types. Preliminary results suggest that Turkish has...
متن کاملThe Intonation of Gapping and Coordination in Japanese: Evidence for Intonational Phrase and Utterance
In previous studies of Japanese intonational phonology, levels of prosodic constituents above the Major Phrase have not received much attention. This paper argues that at least two prosodic levels exist above the Major Phrase in Japanese. Through a detailed investigation of the intonation of gapping and coordination in Japanese, we argue that each syntactic clause projects its own Intonational ...
متن کاملDistinguishing Phrase-Final and Phrase-Medial High Tone on Finally Stressed Words in Turkish
The goal of this paper is to investigate the nature of the high tones realized on finally stressed words in Turkish. Following Ipek & Jun’s [1] AM model of intonational phonology of Turkish, it was hypothesized that the high tone realized on the last syllable of a phrase (i.e., Intermediate Phrase (ip)) is realized differently from that of a phrase-medial prosodic word (PW), reflecting the pros...
متن کاملMorphological Alternations at the Intonational Phrase Edge
This article develops an analysis of a pair of morphological alternations in K'ichee' (Mayan) that are conditioned at the right edge of intonational phrase boundaries. I propose a syntax-prosody mapping algorithm that derives intonational phrase boundaries from the surface syntax, and then argue that each alternation can be understood in terms of output optimization (Mascaró 2007; Mester 1994)....
