This analysis investigates the prosodic stylization of constructed dialogue in Kodiak Alutiiq, an endangered Aleut-Yupik-Inuit language. Conceptualizing prosodic styles as comprised of multiple variables, I analyze each speaker's average F0, F0 range, voice quality, speech rate, and intonation contour across excerpts of constructed dialogue and non-constructed dialogue speech. The results emphasize the importance of considering interactional stance in conjunction with personahood and of examining the interactions of prosodic variables. Furthermore, the results demonstrate the important role narrative has to play in language revitalization efforts. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd | |
