摘要：The system of syllable intonations is a phenomenon
related to the definite prosodic system of
Latvian language: a dialect, the group of the variants,
the standard language. We know that the difference
between intonations finds its realization in all long
syllables. Our aim was to investigate the use of
Latvian syllable intonations nowadays. The research
is based on recordings and observations collected by
the authors in 2000 to 2009. The method used in this
experiment is an analysis of spectrograms. When the
recordings were made, the speakers were asked to
use the standard language.
