In this article, the prosodic description of commands and requests in four Colombian dialects is presented in order to delimit their attributes as part of the directive speech acts and to recognise the prosodic variations in each dialectal variety. According to the hypothesis, the pragmatic functions prevail over the dialectal variations so that the speaker will tend to reduce the dialectal marks in order to give priority to the melodic patterns that allow expressing his communicative intentions. According to considerations of the Autosegmental‐Metricalmodel and the Sp_ToBI-transcription-system, 174 sentences among commands and requests were analysed and compared to 96 assertive sentences.
