This book offers the first comprehensive description of the prosody
of nine Romance languages that takes into account internal
dialectal variation. Teams of experts examine the prosody of
Catalan, French, Friulian, Italian, Occitan, Portuguese, Romanian,
Sardinian, and Spanish using the Autosegmental Metrical framework
of intonational phonology and the Tones and Breaks Indices (ToBI)
transcription system. The chapters all share a common methodology,
based on a common Discourse Completion Task questionnaire, and
provide extensive empirical data. The authors then analyse how
intonation patterns work together with other grammatical means such
as syntactic constructions and discourse particles in the
linguistic marking of a varied set of sentence types and pragmatic
meanings across Romance languages. The ToBI prosodic systems and
annotations proposed for each language are based both on a
phonological analysis of the target language as well as on the
shared goal of using ToBI analyses that are comparable across
Romance languages. This book will pave the way for more systematic
typological comparisons of prosody across both Romance and
non-Romance languages.
