“Are You Asking Me or Telling Me?” Perception and Production of Y/N Questions and Statements in L2 Spanish
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
This study focuses on the perception and production of the initial boundary tone and pre-nuclear peak in Y/N questions and statements in L2 Spanish. Studies on different varieties of Spanish have reported that the initial boundary tone and the pre-nuclear peak are noticeably higher in Y/N questions with respect to comparable statements (Prieto Roseano, 2010; Sosa, 1999). The current study sought to determine whether L2 Spanish speakers could accurately perceive and produce these utterance-initial intonation cues. Furthermore, this study sought to understand the nature of the relationship between L2 perception and production in intonation. Twenty-two advanced L2 Spanish speakers (L1 English) and 9 native Spanish speaking controls (NS) participated in the study, which consisted of two tasks. The perception task was a gating experiment where participants listened to utterances in increments (gates) and were asked to identify what they heard as a question or a statement. Accuracy and reaction times (RT) were recorded. The production task consisted of a narrative that was designed to elicit a Y/N question or a statement. In the narrative, one utterance was missing. Participants were asked to provide the missing utterance. Initial boundary tone and pre-nuclear peak height were measured in Hz and the differences were transformed into semitones. In perception, the findings revealed that there was no significant difference between the L2 group and the NS group in terms of accuracy or RT. In production, the initial boundary tone findings revealed no difference between Y/N questions and statements for either group. For the pre-nuclear peak, the native speaker group realized a difference that was greater than 1.5 semitones (a difference which is perceptible to the human ear: Nooteboom, 1997) while the L2 group was just below the 1.5 semitone threshold. Finally, in order to measure the relationship between perception and production, correlations were run on perception and production results. None of the correlations were statistically significant. Individual analyses revealed interesting trends. While variability in L2 speakers was expected, the variability in the native speaker data revealed patterns that were unexpected when compared to the literature on Spanish intonation. This finding suggests the possibility of multiple ways to signal the Y/N question-statement distinction in Spanish. Such a possibility opens the way for more research into the inventory of Spanish intonation as well as the relationship between perception and production in L2 intonation. ; Ph.D.
