Abstract: I will present an analysis of the intonation of the Banyumas dialect of Javanese (an Austronesian language spoken in Indonesia), based on the autosegmental-metrical framework.As Javanese is a language without lexical stress, there are no pitch accents.Boundary tones are associated with the Accentual Phrase (AP).A non-final AP ends in a H% tone, while a nuclear AP ends in either a HL% or a LH% tone that marks the end of the focus.Any post-focal material appears in an encliticized AP.Contrastive focus at the word level is impossible, except in a few special constructions.
