Abstract
The study is focused on specific features of young Scottish English speakers' pitch patterns in the ‘map task' experiment. Specific features of dialectal young speakers' pitch patterns are frequent rises, rise-falls and levels compared to the southern standard. Factors of talk-in-interaction and newness of information affect the pitch form of repeated words. An exceptionally narrow pitch range of tones facilitates the increase of the level tone frequency as a pattern which was not mentioned previously by British authors.
