This study explores phrase-level prosody and prominence in the Maori language. Limited existing prosodic analysis and anecdotal evidence of diachronic change have motivated the present investigation into alignment of descriptions of intonation and stress with prominence perception test results and pitch analysis of speech data. In general, we find the expected case does occur most often, but examining results across speakers with birthdates spanning a century shows conservatism in modern elders and contradictory results in younger speakers: while making 'errors' in prominence placement, they are often as faithful to the overall expected contour as their elders. |
