Possibly, this is one of the reasons why Swiss German dialects have been investigated thoroughly on various linguistic levels. Nevertheless, natural speech intonation has, until today, not been examined systematically. The aim of this study is to analyze natural Swiss German fundamental frequency behavior according to linguistic, paralinguistic, and extralinguistic variables, using statistical tests against the backdrop of detecting dialect-specific patterns as well as cStudies in language variation ;10.German languageDialectsSwitzerlandGerman languageIntonationSwitzerlandLanguagesGerman languageDialectsGerman languageIntonation.437/.9494Leemann Adrian857085MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779391503321Swiss German intonation patterns3681779UNINA
