Examples of recorded stimuli in a neutral and a focused (subject focus) case for the same sentence (“Marie serrait la poupée”, “Marie was holding tight onto the doll”). As shown in the spectrogram (lower figure), pitch is higher on the subject when it is focused (neutral: max: ∼ 200 Hz; focus: max: ∼ 220 Hz) and, after focus (on the verb and object of the utterance), pitch is lower and flatter compared with the neutral utterance.
