Abstract

In this paper we provide an overview of work carried out on the intonation of Standard German, both in auditory phonetic studies and in the instrumentally-based phonological accounts within the autosegmental-metrical framework. We examine how far the different accounts shed light on controversial issues such as leading tones, levels ofphrasing, and phrase accents, and propose a surface-oriented annotation framework, GToBI, which aims to capture all empirically observed distinctive intonation patterns. For illustration purposes, the contours which are reported to occur most commonly are given in schematic form, along with their GToBI transcription and examples oftheir usage.
