The field of prosody research belongs to those linguistic disciplines that have de-veloped rapidly in recent decades. This is mainly due to the appreciation it hasreceived in theoretical studies of grammar, but also to the technological revo-lution that has resulted in the widespread availability of software dedicated toconducting analyses and calculating statistics. All stages of experimental workhave been affected: data collection, data processing, acoustical and statisticalanalysis, as well as the development of stimuli for perceptual experiments. Care-fully controlled methodologies have become a standard in linguistic research forgathering empirical evidence and their development plays an increasing role inRomance linguistics. The same holds for corpus research, where large speechdatabases are used to investigate prosody and automatic tools are applied for an-alyzing the data. A number of recent publications document these developmentsand show how these fields of research are becoming ever more dynamic andinnovative (see, e.g.,Sudhoff et al. 2006;Cohn et al. 2012;Durand et al. 2014).With the proliferation of methodological options and the emergence of re-search traditions defined not only by their object of interest, but also by theirmethodological choices (e.g.Laboratory PhonologyorCorpus Linguistics), mak-ing reasoned methodological decisions is becoming an increasingly difficult task.Yet only detailed descriptions of problems encountered in the investigation ofspecific phenomena can provide the practical advice needed to avoid difficulties before they arise. Thus, the goal of this book is to encourage the reader to pausefor a moment and to reflect on (some of) the methods used in our field.While the existing volumes on methodological reflections address this issueeither from a general point of view by considering different linguistic subdisci-plines (e.g.Ender et al. 2012;Podesva & Sharma 2013) or by dealing with specificmethodological approaches in the entire field of phonology, including prosody(e.g.Cohn et al. 2012;Nguyen & Adda-Decker 2013;Durand et al. 2014), thepresent book concentrates specifically on methods in prosody and intonation re-search. Consequently, the book has parallels with the seminal volume bySudhoffet al. (2006). In contrast to that book, however, the present volume concentrateson Romance languages and languages in contact with Romance languages (Cata-lan, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Quechua) – thus languages that play animportant role in prosody research. Furthermore, it includes some of the latestdevelopments in the field. Finally, the present volume embraces contributionsthat evaluate specific methods both with and without the presentation of newdata.
