Abstract
This chapter analyses the main standard and non-standard Romanian melodic contours of two Romanian linguistic areas corresponding to distinct intonational varieties: Moldova and Transylvania. For this purpose, we used a compatible ToBI annotation system (Ro_ToBI) and a speech corpus based on a questionnaire designed to elicit various types of utterances. Each type of intonational contour was analyzed starting from a description based on a sequence of Ro_ToBI pitch events. Special attention was paid to the pitch events that generated the focus in each prosodic phrase. Our descriptions of the Romanian intonational contours agree with those presented by other authors. All labels of the Ro_ToBI set are also found in the annotation systems defined for other languages. The cross-linguistic differences in contour annotation result from different interpretations of the pitch events whose F0 patterns do not match the standard definitions of the labels.
