This study analyzes Goshogawara Japanese (GJ) which has rising lexical pitch accent. Accented words in this dialect are known to show a pitch lowering in the final syllable only when the word is followed by a juncture. The results of this experiment contradict earlier reports revealing that this lowering is always present. They indicate that pitch accent in GJ is not simply rising (LH) but it contains falling (HL) elements in its representation.
