3 Transcription system Represents a phonological analysis
Draws on a theory of phonetics-phonology ToBI: American English; theory is Pierrehumbert 1980, aka AM-model, after Ladd 1996 Other examples: Post (2000), ToDI

20 Identification experiment
Semantic task: meaning A or B? The results should indicate the structure Regularities intonation – structure?

21 Adjective or Modal Adverb?
vast ‘stuck’ ‘surely’ Ze zit VAST met dat ding op de SNELweg ‘She has got stuck with that vehicle on the motorway’ ‘She must be on the motorway with the vehicle’

22 Adjective or Modal Adverb?
alleen ‘alone’ ‘however’ Hij zit alLEEN in het caFÉ ‘He is alone in the pub’ ‘The thing is, he’s in the pub’

23 Adverb or Modal Adverb? gewoon ‘normal’ ‘simply’
Doe maar geWOON zoals WILlem ‘Act normally, like William’ ‘Simply act like William’

24 Lexical vs Modal Lexical has a boundary, and...
pitch accent are identical

25 Boundary

28 Female speaker Hij zit alleen (met die man) in ’t café Doe maar gewoon (hier) zoals Willem Ze zit vast (met dat ding) op de snelweg 11 contours (Praat, f0 manipulation) 5-point scale Mirror image orders for stimuli and scales

29 repeated stimulus presentation

30 More modal meaning without boundary.
6 listeners; sentence length pooled

31 Boundary. Less modal meaning when pitch accents are not identical.
