V članku so predstavljeni predhodni rezultati obsežnejše akustične študije o prozodiji slovenščine. Pričujoča raziskava o akustičnih lastnostih leksikalnega tona v slovenščini obravnava trajanje samoglasnikov, jakost in osnovno frekvenco. Statistično značilnih razlik ni bilo med prvima, medtem
ko so bile razlike v F0 visoko statistično značilne. Rezultati se precej razlikujejo od predhodnjih.
Dvozložnice se razlikujejo v relativnem F0 posameznih samoglasnikov. V trizložnicah z naglasom
na prvem zlogu se F0 najbolj razlikuje v zadnjem zlogu.The author presents preliminary findings of a larger acoustic study into prosodic structure of
Slovene. This investigation in acoustic properties of tones in Slovene addresses vowel duration, intensity
and fundamental frequency. Although no statistical differences between both lexical tones
(or pitch-accents) were found in the first and second variable, the third was found highly significant.
The results differ greatly from what was previously established. Disyllables differ in F0 of
the individual vowels. In trisyllables with antepenultimate stress, the F0 difference is the highest in the final syllable.
