The aim of this study is to investigate a pattern of intonation and its traits in Kyungbook dialects, especially the province of Cheongdo. I also made an effort to investigate the correlation between intonation and word contraction in this dialect and to investigate the correlation between tone and intimation, and to investigate correlation between intonation and other linguistic cues. I want to investigate a goal of my this study by use of an experimental technique, especially acoustic technique. The conclusion that I investigated in this thesis is as follows:
First, I investigated that the intonation pattern of terminal sentence at the predicate of sentence is the general one, the falling intonation pattern.
Second, I investigated that the intonation of terminal sentence at the question sentence is two type, falling and raising intonation.
Third, I investigate that the linguistic factors that is influenced at the intonation pattern is tone, word contraction, non-phonological factors, and the tone is the most important factor among these factors.
