I am currently trying to get my head around the pitch accent based on the
following dialog and especially the marked sentence:

> 遠足に来ています。合う絵はどれですか。
>
> 女 いいわね、広々としていて。 **気持ちまでゆったりするわ** 。遠くに一本だけ見える木がまたいい。 …

I've loaded the audio file (it's from a JLPT practice book: 新日檢N2模擬試題大全) into
Praat and displayed the pitch of this phrase:

[![Praat

In the OJAD dictionary, on the other hand, it's displayed like this:

[![OJAD](https://i.stack.imgur.com/7b8LO.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/7b8LO.png)

For me, this is quite a difference. Can this be because of some regional
differences or am I reading the Praat output wrong? Especially I'm wondering
why there is such a huge drop before the ち. Can this be because of the
affricate sound? Same thing with the drop at the っ in ゆったり.

Also, according to the OJAD, the ゆ should still be low, but it's clearly
rising already inside the ゆ.

Edit: Here's the audio file: <https://voca.ro/11eMLIDQKTL0>

Pitch accent differences between Praat and OJAD
It looks like this is just confusing/wrong output from Praat.

The audio almost exactly matches OJAD's suggested line/accents, with the
exception that the audio has a drop before わ followed by an intonation rise on
the end of the わ (like Praat captures) which OJAD doesn't capture.

answer
It looks as though the highest part (between ち and ゆ) got slided down in the
chart for some reason. The long vertical line after ゆ indicates that.

EDIT: Per @morhetb's comment below, it looks like the pitch range settings
affect this. The range can be configured in: Menu > Pitch > Pitch settings >
Pitch range. (75-500 Hz by default)

I tried using your audio file and a fresh install of Praat with default
configuration to produce the same chart. (Praat 6.2.09 on Ubuntu Linux) The
result doesn't contain the oddity. It basically matches the OJAD contour
except for the pitch rise at the end of わ.

I'm not sure if this matters, but I used Audacity to extract the part in
question from your MP3 file and saved it as a WAV before feeding it to Praat.

<https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/> might be a better place for getting
help with Praat. At least I'm certainly not an expert.
