This study describes the European Portuguese version of a test of prosodic skills originally evolved for English: the Profiling Elements of Prosody in Speech-Communication (Peppé & McCann, 2003). Employing this test, it explored the evolution of divers components of European Portuguese prosody between 5 and 20 years of age (N = 131). Results displayed prosodic performance ameliorating with age: 5-year-olds reach adultlike performance in the affective prosodic tasks; 7-year-olds mastered the skill to differentiate and produce short prosodic items, as well as the skill to comprehend question versus declarative intonation; 8-year-olds mastered the skill to differentiate long prosodic items; 9-year-olds mastered the skill to produce question versus declarative intonation, as well as the skill to distinguish focus; 10- to 11-year-olds mastered the skill to produce long prosodic items; 14- to 15-year-olds mastered the skill to understand and generate syntactically ambiguous utterances disambiguated by prosody; and 18- to 20-year-olds mastered the skill to generate focus. Cross-linguistic comparisons displayed that linguistic form–meaning relations do not necessarily evolve at the same pace across languages. Some prosodic contrasts are hard to attain for younger Portuguese-speaking children, to wit, the production of chunking and focus.
