Prosodic phrasing in Catalan and Spanish spontaneous speech
Dr. Ariadna Benet
Universität Osnabrück

The aim of this thesis is to analyze and describe how the prosodic 
phrasing is manifested in
Catalan and Spanish spontaneous speech, since the existing works are 
only based on read or
lab speech (Estebas-Vilaplana & Maidment 1999, Astruc 2005, D’Imperio et 
al. 2005, Prieto
2005 and 2006, Frota et al. 2007, Feldhausen 2008). The general 
hypothesis is that differences
between the results based on both kinds of data, read and spontaneous 
speech, will be found,
both as for boundary cues, as well as for the relation between the 
boundary distribution and
the syntactic grouping. The corpus is set up by 20 interviews to 21 to 
56-year-old adults, 10
Catalan speakers from Barcelona and 10 Spanish speakers from Madrid. In 
order to analyse
the prosodic phrasing of this speech, the study establishes the criteria 
for the boundary cues, a
set of prosodic phenomena that will determine the presence of a prosodic 
boundary. These
criteria can be useful for further studies. The data are also observed 
from the perception of 5
native speakers per language. The production results confirm the 
hypothesis, since differences
between the realization of the boundary cues in spontaneous speech and 
that in read speech
are found. One of the most prominent findings is the different pragmatic 
meaning that convey
the continuation rise and the sustained pitch contours in spontaneous 
speech, not only a
phonetic one like that found from lab speech (Frota et al. 2007). The 
perception analysis
shows that differences from read speech are also related to boundary 
distribution. The study
finds out also a difference between the data of both languages: Spanish 
shows more
variability than Catalan with respect to boundary tones.
