dc.description.abstractThe dissertation aims to identify a set of autosegments, phrasing conventions, and interpretation rules required to represent the intonational patterns of Contemporary Standard Ukrainian’s declaratives and the main question forms with a broad and narrow focus. This dissertation uses the intonational ToBI approach of the Autosegmental-Metrical Theory of Prosody that studies intonation and prosody in its own right, as opposed to deriving it from syntax. It specifically studies fundamental frequency (F0) of phonetic contours and their underlying L and H autosegmental representations as related to hierarchically layered prosodic constituents. It identifies the CSU’s rising-falling (LHL) contour as a property of Prosodic Words, Accentual Phrases, and Intonational Phrases rather than a property of lexical words. This contour is the result of the pre-nuclear L*+H and the H* and the nuclear H+L*, H*+L, and L*+H pitch accents that are a property of prosodic words, the L- and the H- phrasal tones that are a property of accentual phrases, and the L% and the H% boundary tones that are a property of intonational phrases. The dissertation also investigates accent placement and de-accentuation in CSU. It also examines the nature of an upstep and downstep configuration in CSU. It specifically argues that although they are both optional features of narrow focus, they control the alignment of some autosegments in CSU.en_US
