Resumen
The aim of this paper is to present a phonological description of the boundary tones in final and nonfinal declarative sentences in Spanish, drawn from a read news corpus and a dialogue corpus. The final clauses tend to finish with L*L% and sometimes L+H*L%. Four different pitch configurations can be found for non-final patterns: a rise (L*H%), a fallto-mid (H*!H%), a fall-rise (H*LH%) and a sustained tone, which presents different phonetic manifestations depending on the pitch level of the previous accent (H*, !H* or L*). These findings question the validity of the traditional Sp_ToBI convention (HL%) to describe a sustained tone since it cannot account for a level pitch after !H* or L*. A new boundary tone, =%, is proposed whose feature for pitch height is underspecified. For this reason, it can adopt the values of H, !H or L, according to the pitch height of the last accent.
