- Summary:
- In studies of Russian prosody, wh-questions have traditionally received less attention compared to polar questions and declaratives. However, the range of pragmatic meanings that native speakers of Russian convey in this phrase type is remarkably broad; previous research reports intonational means of marking reproach, interest, scolding, bewilderment, annoyance, and excitement. This monograph explores how pragmatics and information structure are conveyed in Russian wh-questions through intonation. Based on experimental and corpus data, the study offers a phonological analysis of the observed tunes, identifies patterns of prosodic variability, and proposes an explanatory model for this variation.
