The prosodic study of Portuguese varieties has shown distinctive behaviors regarding tonal events association with the intonational contour, approaching some varieties and separating others. In this paper, we describe and analyze the intonational contour associated with neutral declarative sentences in Sao Tome Portuguese (PST), based on an integrated view between Intonational Phonology and Prosodic Phonology theories. We compare results obtained analyzing this African variety with results for European, Brazilian, and Guinea-Bissau varieties in studies based on the same theorical approach used here. Although in Sao Tome and Principe the European Portuguese (specially from Lisbon) is considered the standard, our analysis of the intonational contour of PST sentences has shown: high tonal density, triggered by association of a pitch accent with each prosodic word of the intonational contour; the prosodic word as the relevant domain for pitch accent association; the low nuclear contour (L* L%); and the possibility of a phrasal accent associated with the right boundary of non-final phonological phrases of an intonational phrase. These intonational characteristics are different from those attested for the Lisbon variety. Therefore, it allows us to assume that PST is a variety with its own intonational grammar, not been a defective variety of European Portuguese.
