Intonation and its interfaces in Sardinian polar questions

In this paper we investigate the interplay between lexicon, syntax, intonation and pragmatics in Sardinian polar questions. To this end, a production study was designed to elicit polar questions with different bias and polarity conditions by means of the Discourse Completion Task Methodology. The re...

To this end, a production study was designed to elicit polar questions with different bias and polarity conditions by means of the Discourse Completion Task Methodology. The resulting data were then prosodically and syntactically annotated using Praat. The results can be summarized as follows. Regarding lexico-syntactic markers, the particle a functions as a mitigator or politeness marker, whereas constituent fronting and negation correspond to positive and negative polarity respectively. In addition, two main intonational patterns can be distinguished: the ¡H+L* L% pattern, which expresses “lack of bias”, and the ¡H*+L L- pattern, which conveys the speaker bias towards the proposition.La entonación y sus interfaces en las preguntas absolutas del sardo. Este artículo investiga la interacción entre sintaxis, entonación, pragmática y partículas interrogativas en las preguntas absolutas del sardo. Con tal propósito, se diseñó un experimento de producción mediante la metodología de la Tarea de Compleción del Discurso que permite obtener interrogativas absolutas en diferentes condiciones de sesgo y polaridad. Los datos se analizaron prosódica y sintácticamente mediante el programa Praat. Los resultados se pueden resumir como sigue: en relación con los marcadores léxico-sintácticos, la partícula a funciona como un mitigador o marcador de cortesía, mientras que la anteposición de constituyentes y la negación se corresponden con la polaridad positiva y negativa respectivamente. En cuanto a la prosodia, se distinguen dos patrones entonativos principales: el patrón ¡H+L* L%, que expresa “ausencia de sesgo”, y el patrón ¡H*+L L%, que codifica el sesgo del hablante hacia la proposición.This research was funded by projects FFI2011-23829/FILO, BFU2012-31995 (awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness), and 2009 SGR 701 and 2014 SGR-925 (awarded by the Generalitat de Catalunya).Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas201620162014info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10230/26963http://dx.doi.org/10.3989/loquens.2014.014reponame:Repositorio Digital de la UPFinstname:Universitat Pompeu FabraInglésLoquens. 2014;1(2):e014.info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/3PN/FFI2011-23829info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/3PN/BFU2012-31995This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial (by-nc) Spain 3.0 License.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositori.upf.edu:10230/269632026-06-12T07:21:37Z
