Aims:
This work forms a part of the corpus project (Inter-)Fonología del Español Contemporáneo ((I)FEC), which aims to document both the phonic variation in the Spanish-speaking world and the pronunciation of Spanish as an L2 and a foreign lan-guage in different learner groups (see Pustka et al. 2017). The data of this Spanish variety were collected in March 2018 in San José with the support of the Universidad de Costa Rica.

Keywords: Costa Rican Spanish; Intonation; AM-Model
Main cooperation: Prof. Trudel Meisenburg (Osnabrück University) and Jessica López (Universidad de Costa Rica)
