  2. Japanese ToBI • for use with Tokyo Japanese • consistent with design principles of English ToBI • only one accent tone • focus on location of tones, and phrase boundaries • five tiers: tones, words, break indices, finality, miscellaneous

  3. Word representation

  4. H*+L

  5. H*+L • Japanese has lexical accent • When a word is accented, place H*+L on the accented syllable. • If the accent is early or late, place > on the early accent or < on the late accent, and mark H*+L where it should be.

  6. Late Accent

  7. Phrasal H-

  8. Boundary Tones • Final L% and wL% • Initial %L and %wL • Final H%

  9. Final L% and wL% • Occur at end of accentual phrases • wL% used when following phrase (without pause) is initially accented or begins with a long syllable) • wL% indicates that the L% was not able to be fully realized and is undershot

  10. Initial %L and %wL • Occur at the beginning of utterance or post-pausal medial phrases • %wL used when phrase begins with an accented mora or a long syllable

  11. %wL

  12. Final H%

  13. Ambiguous H%

  14. Final HL%

  15. Accent Uncertainty (*?)

  16. 4 degrees of break indices • 0 very small disjuncture • 1 consecutive words • 2 medium disjuncture • 3 strong disjuncture between adjacent words or between a word and silence • m mismatch • - uncertainty • p disfluencies

  17. Finality tier • Occurs on break index 3 • Finality related phenomena: final F0 lowering, segmental lengthening, creaky voice, amplitude lowering, long pauses, stylized “finality” contours
