Using Prosogram to study final rises in South Swedish: Implications for the Scandinavian tone accent typology

Sammanfattning

This paper presents a production study investigating the frequency of utterance-final rises in South Swedish. These rises are interesting from a dialect typological perspective. Recent findings suggest that South Swedish has two-peak accents utterance medially, whereas previous typologies have assumed only one-peak accents for South Swedish dialects. The South Swedish two-peak accents are similar to accents described from East Norwegian and West Swedish, and since these dialects are characterized by final rises in addition to their two-peak accents, better knowledge of final rises in South Swedish can be expected to contribute to the understanding of the South Swedish two-peakedness. Nine participants from three locations in South Sweden (Laholm, Hässloholm, Sjöbo) are recorded reading 1080 sentences. The f0 in the utterance final syllables are analyzed using Prosogram. The results indicate that the number of final rises increases in the more northerly locations, supporting a successive transition from one- to two-peaked dialects rather than a binary distinction as predicted by previous work.
