<div dir="ltr">The phenomenon is also present in A'ingae, a language isolate spoken in Colombia and Ecuador. A
<span id="ms-outlook-ios-cursor"></span>presentation by Sanker et al. describes the phenomenon.

<div>Hi Clemens, </div>
<div class="default-style"> </div>
<div class="default-style">That sounds fascinating, would be very interested to see your examples!
</div>
<div class="default-style"> </div>
<div class="default-style">It's, of course, quite common to have a pitch reset at the beginning of a quote, but for very few languages it has been claimed that these are obligatory (a lot of the time, even for languages where prosody plays a role in marking
reported speech, it has pragmatic functions), let alone that it involves a prosodic marking feature of the kind you describe.

<div>Hi folks, </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, working with Woleaian (Oceanic-Micronesian). I've found a particular prosodical phenomenon wherein direct quotative speech is always paired with high falsetto pitch. This occurs regardless of speaker's
and quoted person's gender, and occurs across speech genres. </div>
<div>I was wondering whether any of you have seen this (type of) prosodic cue as part of quotative speech. Of course happy to provide more detailed data on request.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks! </div>
