The Author: Bettina Braun studied Phonetics/Phonology and Computational Linguistics at Saarland University (Germany), the University of Edinburgh (UK), and Tohoku University (Japan). She pursued her Ph.D. in the International Research Training Group ‘Language Technology and Cognitive Systems’ supported by the German Research Council (DFG). After a post-doctoral period at the University of Oxford, she currently holds a position at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen (The Netherlands).

«Die Arbeit von Bettina Braun stellt einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Phonetik und Phonologie des Akzents im Deutschen dar.» (Alexander Werth, Zeitschrift für Dialektologie und Linguistik)

• Contents: Discussion of the concept of contrast – Production experiment eliciting identical sentences in contrastive and non-contrastive contexts – Acoustic analysis – Perception experiments using preference ratings – Labelling experiment using current autosegmental-metrical annotation.
