Abstract:

This book provides a state-of-the-art survey of intonation and prosodic
structure. Taking a phonological perspective, it shows how morpho-syntactic
constituents are mapped to prosodic constituents according to well-formedness
conditions. Using a tone-sequence model of intonation, it explores individual
tones and how they combine, and discusses how information structure affects
intonation in several ways, showing tones and melodies to be 'meaningful' in
that they add a pragmatic component to what is being said. The author also
shows how despite a superficial similarity, languages differ in how their
tonal patterns arise from tone concatenation. Lexical tones, stress, phrase
tones, and boundary tones are assigned differently in different languages,
resulting in great variation in intonational grammar, both at the lexical and
sentential level. The last chapter is dedicated to experimental studies of how
we process prosody. The book will be of interest to advanced students and
researchers in linguistics, and particularly in phonological theory.

1. Introduction; 2. Phonetic correlates of intonation; 3. Lower-level prosodic
constituents; 4. Intonation and syntax: the higher-level prosodic
constituents; 5. Models of intonation; 6. Intonation and meaning; 7. Tone and
stress at the word level; 8. Sentence intonation in a typological comparison;
9. The processing of intonation; 10. Summary and conclusion.
