Meeting Description:
The purpose of this workshop, which will take place in conjunction with the
Conference Phonetics and Phonology in Iberia 2009 (PaPI 2009), is to advance in
the development of a common transcription system for Spanish within the Tones
and Break Indices (ToBI) framework. As a result of the first Sp_ToBI workshop
held in October 1999, Beckman, Díaz-Campos, McGory & Morgan (2002) published a
preliminary set of tagging conventions for Spanish ToBI (Sp_ToBI).
While the preliminary Sp_ToBI transcription system proposed by Beckman et al.
(2002) was a very important first step, in recent years several revision
articles have been published (Face 2006, Face & Prieto 2007, Estebas & Prieto
2009). Before a consensus system is proposed, it is important to achieve a
common analysis of Spanish intonation within the AM model of intonational
phonology that takes into account a wide range of data coming from the dialectal
differences across Spanish varieties.
The main goal of this workshop is to advance in the proposal of a consensus
analysis of Spanish intonation by taking into account data from different
dialectal varieties. The workshop will have the format of a series of open
discussions led in each case by a participant or group of participants who will
briefly show the basic contrasts of a given dialectal variety and will provide a
set of problematic examples for this variety. Participants from different
Spanish dialectal areas are encouraged to participate.
Presentations will briefly analyze whether the above mentioned Sp_ToBI proposals
are able to handle and cover the basic intonational contrasts found in the
dialect (including more sentence types than the broad focus statements and
informational yes-no questions) (approximately 10-15 mins). After this, the
presentation will be based on the open discussion of labelled sound files
(break, tones) illustrating some potential specific problems of analysis that
the dialect poses and discussing a new labeling proposal. These sound files,
included in the ppt presentations, will be distributed to all participants prior
to the workshop, so that differences in analysis and labeling can be contrasted.
