Comparison of pitch profiles of German and French speakers speaking French and German
- This study examines the pitch profiles of French learners of German and German learners of French, both in their native language (L1), and in their respective foreign language (L2). Results of the analysis of 84 speakers suggest that for short read sentences, French and German speakers do not show pitch range differences in their native production. Furthermore, analyses of mean f0 and pitch range indicate that range is not necessarily reduced in L2 productions. These results are different from results reported in prior research. Possible reasons for these differences are discussed.
