Abstract
This paper describes some of the more salient intonational phenomena of Spanish, and reviews several of the most pressing questions that remain to be addressed before a definitive model of the system can be incorporated into a
consensus transcription system for the language. The phenomena reviewed
include the metrical underpinnings of the tune, and some of the local tone
shapes that are anchored at stressed syllables or at phrase edges in several
common intonation contours. The description of known facts is couched in
the Autosegmental-Metrical model of intonational phonology, as is the review
of outstanding questions. The description is used to motivate the preliminary
transcription conventions proposed by the Spanish ToBI development group.
