This study aims to analyze the prosody in the Batak Toba language using an acoustic-phonetic approach. The measurement of experimental speech sounds uses spectrum analysis with computer assistance. Using recordings from a Sony ICD-PX 470 recorder, which are saved in WAV files, and Praat software version 6.0.54, suprasegmental or prosodic features can be analyzed. These suprasegmental or prosodic features include the high and low frequency of the sound and the intensity and duration of the speech. Data for the research was collected from declarative and imperative utterances by 20 male and 20 female Batak Toba native speakers and analyzed using spectrographs. The experimental method in this research shows the differences in prosody in male and female utterances so the characteristics of prosody between the two types of gender can be identified. The writer indicates that the frequency and intensity of female sounds are higher than male sounds in the two kinds of utterances. However, the duration required by males to pronounce the two utterances was longer than that required by females.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis prosodi yang terdapat dalam bahasa Batak Toba dengan menggunakan pendekatan fonetik akustik. Pengukuran bunyi ujaran eksperimental menggunakan analisis spektrum dengan bantuan komputer. Menggunakan rekaman dari perekam Sony ICD-PX 470 yang disimpan dalam file WAV dan perangkat lunak Praat versi 6.0.54, fitur-fitur suprasegmental atau prosodi dapat dianalisis. Fitur-fitur suprasegmental atau prosodi mencakup frekuensi tinggi rendahnya nada bunyi, intensitas, dan durasi penuturan bunyi. Data penelitian berasal dari ujaran deklaratif dan imperatif yang dituturkan oleh 20 laki-laki dan 20 perempuan penutur asli Batak Toba dan dianalisis menggunakan spektograf. Penelitian dengan menggunakan metode eksperimen ini menunjukkan perbedaan prosodi yang terdapat dalam tuturan laki-laki dan perempuan sehingga dapat ditemukan ciri-ciri khas prosodi antara kedua jenis kelamin tersebut. Penulis mengindikasikan bahwa nilai frekuensi suara dan intensitas suara yang dihasilkan perempuan lebih tinggi dari yang dihasilkan laki-laki dalam kedua ujaran tersebut. Namun, durasi yang dibutuhkan oleh laki-laki untuk menuturkan kedua ujaran tersebut ternyata lebih lama dibandingkan perempuan.
