Hungría
In the last few years we carried out several investigation projects about the intonation of Hungarian learners of Spanish. Our starting point was the methodological background set up by Cantero & Font-Rotchés in 2009 (the Melodic Analysis of Speech method), which analyses spontaneous speech by obtaining intonational data from standardized melodies free from irrelevant micromelodic variations and speaker-specific melodic characteristics. In this framework, the intonational unit consists of the Anacrusis (the unaccented syllables before the First Peak), the First Peak, and the Nucleus (the last accented syllable). The Body spreads from the First Peak to the Nucleus. We analysed 53 declarative sentences produced by Hungarian learners of Spanish, in order to see whether certain melodic aspects such as the percentage of rise before the First Peak or the position of the First Peak show influences of the target language or of the mother tongue of the participants.
