Resumo(s)
In this paper, we argue that the vocative in European Portuguese has different prosodic properties according to its syntactic distribution. In order to prove this, we have built a corpus and analyzed the intonation contours associated to the vocative and the boundary’s strength between this constituent and the sentence. Our data shows that the vocative’s distribution plays a crucial part in its prosodic characterization, since the vocative has distinctive prosodic characteristics depending on its distribution. The asymmetry found in the behaviour of vocatives allows us to stress the differences between initial versus medial and final vocatives.
