 note = {application/pdf, The aim of this short paper is to report the results of the preliminary field research the author conducted into the intonation of Okayama dialect of Japanese, and thereby raising some related issues. The main points drawn from the discussion based on the research are summarized as follows: (i) both interrogative and non-interrogative sentences, including imperative ones, fundamentally have a global falling tonal pattern; (ii) interrogative sentences, both yes/no- and wh-questions, are formed by means of sentence-final particles‘ン’and‘ノン’, the latter of which is used in negative interrogative sentences; (iii) interrogative sentences/utterances may exceptionally have a global rising, non-falling tonal pattern in the following three cases: i) when an interrogative sentence lacks an interrogative particle for some reasons; ii) when a hearer intends to request a speaker to repeat what he or she has just uttered; iii) when a speaker intends to remind a hearer of something or to reconfirm something.},
