....was developed in [5] In the subsequent sections we describe the data analyzed in this work and the method used for automatically extracting the pitch range from the data. We then present how specific registers are realized in terms of pitch range. This paper extends our earlier study of registers [6]. 2. Global prominence and pitch range In the model described in [5] the pitch range of a speaker is phonologically analyzed as being divided into two categorical register levels, low flg and high fhg. These underlying primary register features are associated with intonation phrases and they ....

Pitch range of registers with primary flg Registers with a primary flg but with no further modification occur at the end of discourse segments not preceding a topic reset. ....
