This dissertation provides a contrastive analysis of the intonation of two Caribbean French based creoles, Guadeloupean Creole (GC) and Haitian Creole (HC). The research goals were to provide a description of the two intonation systems and to determine whether there are common patterns between the two creoles. Data were collected from speakers who are representative of the basilectal variety of each creole. The audio recordings comprised declarative statements and questions. The supporting materials were exclusively image-based, which triggered semi-spontaneous speech.

520 $a This dissertation provides a contrastive analysis of the intonation of two Caribbean French based creoles, Guadeloupean Creole (GC) and Haitian Creole (HC). The research goals were to provide a description of the two intonation systems and to determine whether there are common patterns between the two creoles. Data were collected from speakers who are representative of the basilectal variety of each creole. The audio recordings comprised declarative statements and questions. The supporting materials were exclusively image-based, which triggered semi-spontaneous speech.
520 $a The analysis of the intonational contours is couched in the framework of Autosegmental-Metrical (AM) phonology and the pitch traces are annotated with a tonal transcription that draws on the principles of ToBI. The analysis provides evidence that there is a common intonation system in both creoles. Three levels of phrasing were identified, with the intonational phrase (IP) as the highest level of organization. The accentual phrase (AP) is of the size of a prosodic word including the lexical word and adjacent function words. In addition, there are two types of accentual phrases, with respectively, a rise in the final syllable and a fall on the penultimate syllable. Rising and falling AP's combine together into intermediate phrases (ip). Other common characteristics include downstepped pronominal questions, a final rising-falling contour in echo questions and a common inventory of boundary tones in utterance final position.
520 $a The two systems differ in several respects. The organization of AP's in the ip is language specific. In GC, low intermediate phrase boundaries trigger downstep in declaratives, which is not clearly attested in HC. In HC the determiner is extrametrical, but not in GC. Declaratives and questions with upstep are commonly found in HC, but not attested in GC.
520 $a This research complements the descriptions of French based creoles which have shown minimal attention to prosody and intonation. It raises the question about the formation of this common intonation system and the creolization of intonation features. The existence of common patterns invites further research on intonation in other Caribbean French based creoles towards a better understanding of the common prosodic and intonation system of these languages.
