Abstract:

What is the best way to analyze spontaneous spoken language? In their search
for the basic units of spoken language the authors of this volume opt for a
corpus-driven approach. They share a strong conviction that prosodic structure
is essential for the study of spoken discourse and each bring their own
theoretical and practical experience to the table. In the first part of the
book they segment spoken material from a range of different languages
(Russian, Hebrew, Central Pomo (an indigenous language from California),
French, Japanese, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese). In the second part of
the book each author analyzes the same two spoken English samples, but looking
at them from different perspectives, using different methods of analysis as
reflected in their respective analyses in Part I. This approach allows for
common tendencies of segmentation to emerge, both prosodic and segmental.
