For the provinces studied, a co-occurrence of descending (L%) and rising (H%) question patterns is found. These patterns correspond to a traditional pattern and to the pattern of standard Spanish respectively, so the coexistence of both will lead us to propose a process of standardisation or dedialectalisation that is affecting the intonational patterns of the varieties of these peripheral territories in the northwest of Castile.12 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Bargiela, Víctor, 2022http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Entonació (Fonètica)DialectologiaCanvi lingüísticIntonation (Phonetics)DialectologyLinguistic changeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
