Dr Tamara Rathcke, Lecturer in the Department of English Language & Linguistics, will be giving a talk at the Institute for Linguistics, University of Stuttgart, entitled ‘Autosegmental-Metrical Approaches to Modelling Russian Intonation: Evidence and Issues’, tomorrow, 27 April 2018.
Autosegmental phonology is an approach to phonology that allows the processing of sounds in language, such as tone and vowel harmony, to be independent of and extend beyond individual consonants and vowels.
Tamara will give an overview of the current autosegmental-metrical approaches to studying the intonation in the speaking of Russian, and present some original data that challenges some of the previous assumptions, and helps to advance our understanding of the structure of tonal representations (both in Russian and other languages).
