This study explored intonation variability in 90 English speakers from London. Results show considerable individual differences in using prosodic features for communication, challenging previous assumptions.

Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Phonetics
  • Sociolinguistics

Background:

  • Intonation research often overlooks variability within speech communities.
  • Understanding prosodic feature use is key to linguistic and communicative function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate cross-speaker variability in intonation.
  • To analyze how speakers use and perceive prosodic features for communicative functions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a new prosodic test battery (PEPS) with 90 adult English speakers from London.
  • Collected and analyzed production data focusing on prosodic feature realization.

Main Results:

  • No significant gender or age effects on prosodic performance were found.

  • A minor effect of educational level was observed in younger adults.
  • Qualitative analysis revealed significant individual variation in prosodic feature use.

    • Conclusions:

    • Speaker realization of communicative functions through prosody is more variable than previously assumed.
    • Further research into individual differences in prosody is warranted.
