Lesakako azentu eta intonazioaz

Abstract

This paper presents a first approximation to the models of acent and intonation of the Basque language of Lesaka. In the first section the main rules of accent of nouns and adjectives are described; on the other hand, we attempt to point out the relationship between the rules governing accent insertion and article adjustment. In the second section the functioning of the rule governing accentuation in the noun and adjective declension, and in the conjugated verbs is analysed. Lastly, in the section dealing with intonation, declarative and interrogative sentences are studied from the point of view of their acustic analysis. Once these declarative and interrogative sentences have been analysed separately, both sets are compared in orden to analyse their main differences.
