When the pitch accent rises at the end of a word not at the end of a sentence...

[Haruto Uzumaki]

Just copying as I wrote it in the note:
"What is the weird pitch accent at the end of words that seems to be used mostly by women supposed to do (sounds like て when it serves as "and", but it's applied to other words like 「さ̅い̅き̅ん↑」, 「か̅ぎ̅り↑」, just emphasis?)" (probably not the correct notation, but hopefully this makes sense)

I've really been wondering lately how this might work. I feel like it's an important nuance, but I can't truly solidify what exactly is happening when someone raises the pitch accent at the end of words that are usually 平板 unless it's just emphasis or someone thinking about what they're gonna say next. The only factor I've been able to note is that women seem to do it a lot more than men, but otherwise I really have no clue why this happens or what for.
Thanks in advance

Do you have any videos that demonstrate what you're talking about? My first inclination is that this is probably not important.
Maybe what you're observing is just a speech trait like valley girl speak.

Hmm, it would take a while to gather enough cases where this happens, but what I'll do is record it each time it occurs in the future and add them to this thread when I feel I've collected enough evidence. It could be similar to the valley girl thing, but I don't know for sure, and I feel like it could still indicate something useful to know (such as the speaker thinking about what to say next).
