Apuntes sobre la entonación de la ciudad de Zaragoza

In this article we briefly outline the acoustic elements found after the analysis of two spontaneous conversations by two informants from the city of Zaragoza. Both speakers were chosen on purpose due to their «accent» from Zaragoza. Alter studying the data we believe that the most distinctive feature of the intonation in this city is characterised by an F0 environment in a circumflex manner. This contour is realized in the postonic syllable. On top of this, prosodic features of length and intensity also help perceive the typical prosodic realization in this area. The syllable with tonal contour is usually very long, especially when it is occurs at the end of an utterance. Its intensity is also remarkably high.
