This dissertation examines tonal alignment in one variety of Peruvian Amazonian Spanish (PAS). Previous studies across languages have modeled tonal alignment using two main hypotheses. The Segmental Anchoring Hypothesis (SAH) posits that tonal events anchor to specific landmarks in the segmental string (Arvaniti et al. 1998). The Non-Segmental Anchoring Hypothesis, on the other hand, posits that the alignment of the tonal events with the segmental string is conditioned by several factors; it does not have a specific anchor in the segmental string. Using the Autosegmental Metrical (AM) framework, I acoustically analyze the intonational contours of PAS declaratives produced in a reading task. This allows me to test the conflicting models on tonal alignment in PAS, and the potential effects of segmental information on F0 peak location. Furthermore, I explore spontaneous speech data from PAS. Finally, I use the results in this dissertation to revisit and reassess the current phonological representations for PAS rising accents in Sp_ToBI.

520 $a This dissertation examines tonal alignment in one variety of Peruvian Amazonian Spanish (PAS). Previous studies across languages have modeled tonal alignment using two main hypotheses. The Segmental Anchoring Hypothesis (SAH) posits that tonal events anchor to specific landmarks in the segmental string (Arvaniti et al. 1998). The Non-Segmental Anchoring Hypothesis, on the other hand, posits that the alignment of the tonal events with the segmental string is conditioned by several factors; it does not have a specific anchor in the segmental string. Using the Autosegmental Metrical (AM) framework, I acoustically analyze the intonational contours of PAS declaratives produced in a reading task. This allows me to test the conflicting models on tonal alignment in PAS, and the potential effects of segmental information on F0 peak location. Furthermore, I explore spontaneous speech data from PAS. Finally, I use the results in this dissertation to revisit and reassess the current phonological representations for PAS rising accents in Sp_ToBI.
520 $a In order to achieve these goals, I collected production data from 13 monolingual PAS speakers from the Amazonian city of Pucallpa. Informants completed two tasks. In the reading task, I elicited three different types of sentences: broad, narrow, and contrastive focus declaratives. These sentences varied in length (which served as a proxy for segmental duration), ranging from 2 to 5 content words. Stressed syllables included both CV and CVC syllables. In this task, participants were asked to read sentences following a prompting question, which elicited a specific pragmatic meaning. I conducted acoustic analysis of this data, focusing on F0 peak location, F0 rise time, and F0 tonal height. These measurements were then analyzed statistically. The second task consisted of a short interview, meant to elicit spontaneous data.
520 $a Results from the tonal alignment analysis show that across declarative types, and regardless of segmental information, F0 peaks are realized within the boundaries of the stressed syllable, and more specifically, within the stressed vowel. Additionally, results also show that F0 rise time is not temporally fixed. These two findings provide evidence in favor of SAH in PAS, with the stressed vowel serving as the segmental anchor. Therefore, I claim that PAS is a Spanish variety in which segmental anchors are primary. These results differ from previous studies on Spanish, such as Prieto & Torreira (2007). Spontaneous data of PAS declaratives corroborate the findings reported from the reading task. Spontaneous data from PAS show that F0 peaks align consistently with the stressed syllable, and more precisely, with the stressed vowel.
520 $a Lastly, the acoustic and statistical analyses in this dissertation provide additional support for the phonological representations of PAS rising accents that were proposed in Garcia (2011). Specifically, for broad focus words and narrow/contrastive non-focused words, I propose a bitonal pitch accent: L+H*. For narrow and contrastive focused words, I maintain a tritonal pitch accent: L+H*+L, which denotes that the F0 contour both rises and falls within the stressed syllable.
