Діалектний текст як об’єкт експериментально-фонетичного дослідження

The research is dedicated to the issue of experimental phonetic analysis of intonation in dialectal texts. It is argued that intonation encompasses a set of linguistic sound features that convey the meaning, emotional-expressive and modal character of a phrase, its communicative meaning, situational context, stylistic nuances, and more. The primary source material consists of the author’s own recordings and audio recordings from the Ukrainian Dialectal Phonofund of the Institute of the Ukrainian Language of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The study identifi es the specifi c characteristics of changes in the fundamental frequency at diff erent sections of the intonation curve, including pre-tonic, tonic, scale, nuclear, and post-tonic positions. Universal and diff erential features of the rising-falling contour realization in dialectal texts are observed. The diff erences in terminal tone patterns are described, and the dynamic structure of dialectal narrative is outlined. It is noted that in dialectal texts, intensity values are more dependent on the content and emotional context of phrases rather than on positional factors. The segmentation of dialectal texts is characterized, highlighting their spontaneity and lack of preparation, which can lead to insuffi cient structural organization of individual segments and a complex relationship between syntax and pauses.
