The Necessity of Both Naturally-Occurring and Elicited Data in Spanish Intonational Phonology
-
Timothy L. Face
Abstract
In Spanish intonational phonology, as well as intonational phonology more generally, far more work has been carried out using elicited data than naturallyoccurring data. This is to be expected given the complexities of intonation in naturally-occurring speech and the many factors that affect it. Examining intonation in a more controlled context allows an understanding of it that can serve as a starting point for the examination of intonation in naturally-occurring speech. But even then, both types of data are necessary. There are intonation patterns that occur in naturally-occurring speech that either do not exist or exist in very limited contexts in elicited speech, and therefore they are not (adequately) analyzed until naturally-occurring speech is investigated. At the same time, however, intonation patterns are complex, containing various pitch movements, and elicited data, such as through perception tasks, can help tease apart the pieces of intonation patterns and determine which ones are meaningful in communication.
