Summary, in English
An exploratory study on the prosodic signaling of ‘confirmation’ in Swedish is presented. Pairs of subjects
read short dialogs, constructed around selected target words, in a conversational style. A falling utterance intonation was found on the target word, and the signaling of word prosody (lexical pitch accent) appeared to be, to a certain degree, optional.
