Jonathan Barnes, Nanette Veilleux, Alejna Brugos, and Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel. (Forthcoming). “Tonal Center of Gravity: A global approach to tonal implementation in a level-based intonational phonology.” Laboratory Phonology. [pdf] Abstract Recent evidence that pitch-movement shape can influence perceived alignment of rising (LH) pitch accents in several languages appears to challenge the well-established level-based approach to intonation [...]
