Abstract

This study investigates intonational realizations in turn-yielding and
turn-holding in the German and Croatian language in phone-in programmes. The signalization of turn-yielding is investigated in the intonational phrases appearing immediately before transition to the next speaker, and the signaling of turn-holding in those intonational phrases where syntactic completion is not realized in this, but in one of the intonational phrases that follow. With the comparison of intonational realizations of turn-yielding and turn-holding, it is shown that the relationship of two tones, the boundary tone and the tone realized in the syllable which precedes the last prominent syllable is distinctive in both languages and cannot be presented within the existing systems for notating intonation.
