3. Methodology of prosodic segmentation

Once we have recorded and documented the data, we need to transcribe it. Our purpose

in CorpAfroAs is to provide an accurate prosodic segmentation of the data. We therefore

use Praat for that purpose (see below).

Speech is naturally segmented into prosodic units. Our purpose is therefore to segment

our data according to its natural segmentation, avoiding the type of segmentation marks

that is often inspired by written sources (full stops, commas etc.), and does not fit the

transcription of spoken data. We do not segment our data into clauses, sentences or

phrases.

The basic unit we chose for the segmentation of CorpAfroAs is the Intonation Unit. The

Intonation Unit (henceforth: IU) is recognized by its boundaries (using the following cues:

pause, pitch reset, final lengthening before the boundary and initial rush after it) and by

its single coherent intonation contour.

The IU may encapsulate a clause, but it may also consist of lesser syntactic units, like

noun phrases, adverbials etc. In several cases an IU may not correspond to a coherent

syntactic unit as traditional grammar would suggest.

We detect intonation units on the basis of perception (of the researcher, in collaboration

with native speakers), along with (or following) an acoustic check of boundary cues on

Praat for control. Praat allows the precise location of the boundary on the transcription
