What is it about?
Students of a foreign language have to face the whole range of emotions expressed by native speakers and in order to achieve this goal they need to be provided with clear and effective melodic patterns. Accordingly, the aim of this work is to explore the effect of emotions on Spanish prosody patterns.

Why is it important?
We will present a set of diagrams and their descriptions, which we think could be used in the classroom and to develop teaching materials.
