Abstract

This paper investigates edge effects on the relationship between the underlying tonal sequence and its surface realization in the IP-final Accentual Phrase within the Optimality Theoretic framework. I will examine the way in which AP ones are aligned with their associated syllables in IP-final position. In Korean, Jun¢¥s (1996) ¢¥see-saw effect¢¥ does not allow any two identical tones if they are marking a boundary of a prosodic group. A phonetic experiment conducted in this paper suggests that the ¢¥se-saw effect¢¥ only apply to H boundary tones. Furthermore, it well be shown that the timing of tonal peaks is determined through the ranking of a set of violable constraints. The AP tonal realization is achieved through the access to the global intonation in a complicate way. In the course of discussion, pitch patterns in IP-medial Accentual Phrase will also be discussed.
