FIGURE 6

Plots of the Spanish sentence “Pensamos salir ganadores” (“We aim to win”) before the stroke (top) and 8 months later (bottom) produced by patient OM. The curve before the stroke shows a rising end contour. Note that F0 raises at the last accent syllable and continued to rise in the following unaccented ones. This seems to be a typical feature of Cordoba accent. After the stroke, there was a slow speech rate and analysis of F0 curve of the same declarative sentence showed a gradual declination. The slope of the top reference line presented an average rate of declination of about 41.4 Hz/s, similar to the value obtained in Spanish speaker from Buenos Aires (43 Hz/s).
