The article focuses on the study of Livonian word prosody and deals primarily with the role of quantity and tone and their phonetic realization. One of the purposes of this paper is to carry out an investigation of the realization of the temporal and tonal characteristics of words consisting of a short first syllable and a half-long second syllable (CV.C-Due to image rigths restrictions, multiple line equation(s) cannot be graphically displayed. structure) in spontaneous speech. An acoustic-phonetic analysis of the recordings of spontaneous speech by four speakers was carried out. In addition, the interaction between pitch alignment and durational changes in three structures of disyllabic words is analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the study of Livonian word prosody. The paper deals with duration ratios and fundamental frequency contours in Livonian. An acoustic-phonetic analysis of the recordings of spontaneous speech by 8 speakers was carried out. The measurements were subjected to statistical treatment, and the results were analysed from the point of view of their role in the Livonian prosodic structure. The paper deals primarily with the role of quantity and tone and their phonetic realisation. Words with a long first syllable (consisting of voiced sounds) containing a half-long or a short vowel in the second syllable were analysed. On the basis of the duration ratios one group of speakers differentiated the two types of words similarly to Estonian Q2 and Q3 words, while the other group did not. Words where stød was expected were differentiated from words where stød was not expected primarily by an earlier F0 peak. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper describes work done up to now with Livonian, the southernmost Finnic language. The study proceeds within the framework of the Finno-Ugric Prosody Project: a set of test sentences is recorded by a number of native speakers, an acoustic-phonetic analysis is carried through of the recordings, the measurements are subjected to statistical treatment, and the results are analyzed from the point of view of their role in the manifestation of Livonian prosodic structure. The paper deals primarily with the role of quantity and its phonetic manifestation. Foot isochrony is attested and an areal background of the results is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
