Abstract
The seven papers presented in this thesis are all, in one way or another, concerned with focal accent in Swedish. What is being investigated, more specifically, are its acoustic correlates and the relevance of these correlates as perceptual cues. The purpose of the investigations is to add perceptually relevant details to the description of focal accent. Needless to say, fundamental frequency movements -- or f 0 movements as they will be referred to in the following -- are of a great importance for the signaling of accents in general; this is already a well-established fact. Most of the efforts put into the research presented here have therefore been directed towards acoustic correlates other than f 0 movements. Paper I provides
