VELASQUEZ UPEGUI, Eva Patricia. THE INTONATION OF TRANSACTIONAL INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES IN THE SPANISH SPOKEN IN COLOMBIA. Forma funcion, Santaf, de Bogot, D.C. [online]. 2014, vol.27, n.2, pp.207-246. ISSN 0120-338X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/fyf.v27n2.47672.

The article presents the description and analysis of the intonation of different transactional interrogative sentences, that is, those aimed at the exchange of information. The data analyzed corresponds to the Spanish spoken in Colombia, specifically in four cities: Bogotá, Cali, Medellín and Cartagena. The sp-TOBI transcription system was used for the prosodic representation, within the theoretical-methodological framework of the autosegmental metric model (MA). Overall, two prosodic configurations were found to be associated to dialectal groups: L+H* L% in Medellín and H+L* HH% in Bogotá and Cali; Cartagena presents both configurations in the nuclear tone.

Keywords : dialect; prosody; interrogation; toneme; autosegmental metric model; sp-TOBI.
