Resumen

Argentinian Spanish intonation has been the focus of intensive research, at least since the second half of the 20th century. Overall, this research has centred around one variety, i.e. Buenos Aires or ‘porteño’ Spanish, and on one type of sentence, namely declaratives, with a particular emphasis on broad focus declaratives. We also draw on this tradition in concentrating on porteño Spanish only; we nevertheless extend the database by considering sentence types and utterances other than declaratives.
