- Abstract
This paper explores prosodic marking of narrow focus in Lithuanian. The research material consists of almost 50 records of sentences with narrow focus in different locations. These sentences were read by four native male speakers. For each of the focused and non-focused tokens fundamental frequency, intensity parameters, duration, the first and the second formants were measured. The results show that focally prominent syllables are pronounced with higher pitch and intensity, expanded pitch range, and longer duration. Some of such syllables are pronounced with tenser vowel articulation.
