초록

This paper presents evidence from acoustic analysis for a categorical distinction between downstepped and non-downstepped high-toned pitch accents (H* vs. !H*) in American English. The present study offers an explanation for the contradictory findings from prior acoustic studies of downstep, which call into question the status of the downstepped accent in American English as a legitimate prosodic category. It is shown in the paper that the experimental findings from naturally occurring speech corpus provide evidence for !H* as a distinct prosodic category.

Abstract

This paper presents evidence from acoustic analysis for a categorical distinction between downstepped and non-downstepped high-toned pitch accents (H* vs. !H*) in American English. The present study offers an explanation for the contradictory findings from prior acoustic studies of downstep, which call into question the status of the downstepped accent in American English as a legitimate prosodic category. It is shown in the paper that the experimental findings from naturally occurring speech corpus provide evidence for !H* as a distinct prosodic category.
