On the Variabilty in F₀ Patterning and the Function of F₀ Timing in Languages where Pitch Cues Stress. Thorsen, N. Phonetica, 39(4-5):302–316, 1982. Paper doi abstract bibtex The basic property of pitch as a cue to linguistic stress is fundamental frequency (F₀) change. That leaves room for a lot of variation: in the direction of the change, the amount of change, and its exact coordination with the stressed syllable. Examples (from the literature) from a number of languages and dialects attest that they do indeed exhibit quite striking differences in the stress/F₀ relationship. The decisiveness, under certain circumstances, of the timing of F₀ events is illustrated by the results of a pilot experiment with a disyllabic Danish word: The location of a two-semitone rise from the first to the second syllable – before or after the intervocalic sonorant consonant – will shift listeners’ location of the stress.
