Prosodic characterization of the semantic-pragmatic variants of the discourse marker "a ver" in a corpus of Valencian Spanish

This dataset contains acoustic and prosodic measurements of 32 occurrences of the discourse marker "a ver" extracted from a corpus of colloquial Spanish spoken in Valencia (Spain). The data include duration (ms) of the marker, presence and duration of pauses at its boundaries, pitch resets at both limits, F0 values (previous content word, marker, and post content word), and tonal movement patterns. Each occurrence was manually annotated and classified according to its semantic-pragmatic function by Dr. Trípodi (Type 1: reformulator/reinforcer of one's own discourse; Type 2: disqualifier of others' discourse; Type 3: incitator to others' discourse). The dataset was used for a prosodic and statistical analysis of the marker's functional variants.

Source corpus: The data were extracted from the "Fonocortesia" project (Reference: FFI2009-07034, subprogram FILO, Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain), titled "Fonocortesia: el componente fónico en la expresión de cortesía y descortesía verbales en español coloquial", directed by Prof. Dr. Antonio Hidalgo Navarro.
