A Methodological Proposal for the Melodic Analysis of Spontaneous Spoken Utterances with German Modal Particles
Abstract
In the present paper we analyse the relationship between intonation and German modal particles. In section 1., we review the literature on this specific topic, since Kriwonossow wrote his dissertation in 1977 and we observe that this relationship has been an aspect hardly developed from an objective and instrumental point of view. In section 2., we describe a method for analysing intonation and its relation to German modal particles. The method enables, on the one hand, to analyse real and spontaneous spoken utterances produced by German multiple subjects and, on the other hand, to obtain standardised intonation patterns for establishing phonological modalities in German and define the pragmatic meaning of German modal particles
