• Resumen

  • Este estudio describe la entonación de las preguntas pronominales en español y euskera de Irún, Gipuzkoa. Trece participantes realizaron una tarea de lectura contextualizada en ambos idiomas, y los análisis se centraron en el pico inicial y los contornos finales. Los picos iniciales se dieron principalmente en la sílaba postónica del pronombre interrogativo, mientras que los contornos finales fueron mayormente ascendentes (L* H%), seguidos de descendentes (L* L%). No se hallaron diferencias significativas entre lenguas, y los participantes mantuvieron patrones similares en las dos, lo que sugiere un inventario entonativo compartido para este tipo de preguntas.
