Why choose this project topic?
An examination of how intonation interacts with the interpretation of confirmation questions produces a manageable language question with observable evidence. It lets you connect English-language concepts to particular communicative choices instead of making unsupported judgments about speakers.
What patterns emerge in how intonation interacts with the interpretation of confirmation questions within approved recordings and listening tasks with consenting adult English speakers?
Choose the corpus size, sampling period and annotation framework for how intonation interacts with the interpretation of confirmation questions; confirm access before fixing the title.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Identify the linguistic forms involved in how intonation interacts with the interpretation of confirmation questions.
- 02Compile a documented and ethically accessible dataset from approved recordings and listening tasks with consenting adult English speakers.
- 03Annotate question forms and pitch contours, then compare listeners' interpretations with speakers' stated intentions.
A suggested research approach
Agree access and selection criteria for approved recordings and listening tasks with consenting adult English speakers. Annotate question forms and pitch contours, then compare listeners' interpretations with speakers' stated intentions. Pilot the annotation scheme, retain examples that challenge initial categories and report disagreements. Obtain institutional approval and informed consent before collecting participant data.
What you will need
- Permitted access to approved recordings and listening tasks with consenting adult English speakers
- An annotation guide covering how intonation interacts with the interpretation of confirmation questions
- A secure anonymisation procedure and any required ethics approval
Keep your project scope clear
A small controlled sample cannot define a single correct Nigerian English intonation pattern.
