| Summary: | The interrogative sentence, when compared with the declarative equivalent (because they are formed by the same linguistic elements), presents itself with a very distinct melodic curve, especially in the final part. We do not aim to compare these two types, but to observe the melody curves obtained through AMPER tools for interrogative sentences with oxytone, paroxytone and proparoxytone final elements. Have the interrogatives sentences spoken in the Autonomous Region of Madeira substantial prosodic differences between the different points of inquiry? Will the intonational curves obtained be identical or similar in the two islands? This is what we want to find out. |
