Intonation patterns of Estonian compound words and noun phrases in different focus conditions

This paper presents results from a pilot study investigating prosodic characteristics of Estonian compound words as compared to phonemically identical noun phrases. Intonation patterns over these two types in three different focus conditions are analysed. There is consid-erable variation as to the realisation of f o but some clear patterns of occurrence emerge depending on the type of word (compound or phrase) and focus (broad or contrastive on the first or second component) as well as speaker preferences.
