IV Workshop on Sp_ToBI: Transcription of Intonation of the
Spanish language

The purpose of this workshop, which will take place in conjunction
with the Conference Phonetics and Phonology in Iberia 2009 (PaPI
2009), is to advance in the development of a common transcription
system for Spanish within the Tones and Break Indices (ToBI)
framework. As a result of the first Sp_ToBI workshop held in October
1999, Beckman, Díaz-Campos, McGory & Morgan (2002) published a
preliminary set of tagging conventions for Spanish ToBI (Sp_ToBI).
While the preliminary Sp_ToBI transcription system proposed by
Beckman et al. (2002) was a very important first step, in recent
years several revision articles have been published (Face 2006, Face
& Prieto 2007, Estebas & Prieto 2009). Before a consensus system is
proposed, it is important to achieve a common analysis of Spanish
intonation within the AM model of intonational phonology that takes
into account a wide range of data coming from the dialectal
differences across Spanish varieties. 

The main goal of this workshop is to advance in the proposal of a
consensus analysis of Spanish intonation by taking into account data
from different dialectal varieties. The workshop will have the format
of a series of open discussions led in each case by a participant or
group of participants who will briefly show the basic contrasts of a
given dialectal variety and will provide a set of problematic examples
for this variety. Participants from different Spanish dialectal areas are
encouraged to participate.
