| description | Before the 1974 partition of Cyprus most areas were
predominantly Greek-speaking. At the same time
there were also many mainly Turkish-speaking
settlements and a number of localities with ethnically
mixed populations. In this paper we examine the
continuation rise intonation tune in archival
recordings of the speech of nine Cypriot Greekspeaking males born between 1894 and 1934, from
three towns. Using a functional data analysis, we
compare their speech patterns to those of their
Standard Modern Athenian and mainland Turkishspeaking contemporaries, and to Asia Minor Greek,
another Turkish contact dialect in different social
circumstances. Our analysis reveals the presence of
two patterns in the f0 curve shape and time alignment
of the continuation rise tunes, demonstrating that
even the inhabitants of relatively unmixed localities
in Cyprus had adopted a Turkish-like intonation
pattern in a proportion of their utterances. |
