The objective of the present work is to study this type of difficulties in Japanese students of ELE in order to help develop specific learning resources that take into account the problem of the incorrect identification of modalities in the Spanish language; particularly in its southern-most varieties. To ensure that modality is perceived exclusively through prosodic features, we have designed a perceptive identification test using re-synthetized interrogative and declarative stimuli without lexical-semantic content, which have been obtained from natural utterances of two varieties of the Spanish language (a northern variety from the north of Madrid, and an Atlantic variety from the Canary Islands). We put forward two hypotheses: the first one establishes that judges will be able to identify the northern interrogative modality better, since this is generally taught as a standard; and the second one proposes that results obtained will allow identifying the prosodic features that are more difficult to recognise by Japanese students, which will help to improve the teaching of the main different patterns of the Spanish language, and hence diminish understanding errors DO - 10.30827/digibug.54104 UR - https://portalciencia.ull.es/documentos/5ea21c2d2999521f7d52406b DP - Dialnet - Portal de la Investigación ER -
