Abstract:

An introduction to the the range of current theoretical approaches to the
prosody of spoken utterances, with practical applications of those theories.

Prosody is an extremely dynamic field, with a rapid pace of theoretical
development and a steady expansion of its influence beyond linguistics into
such areas as cognitive psychology, neuroscience, computer science, speech
technology, and even the medical profession. This book provides a set of
concise and accessible introductions to each major theoretical approach to
prosody, describing its structure and implementation and its central goals and
assumptions as well as its strengths and weaknesses. Most surveys of basic
questions in prosody are written from the perspective of a single theoretical
framework. This volume offers the only summary of the full range of current
theoretical approaches, with practical applications of each theory and
critical commentary on selected chapters.

The current abundance of theoretical approaches has sometimes led to apparent
conflicts that may stem more from terminological differences, or from
differing notions of what theories of prosody are meant to achieve, than from
actual conceptual disagreement. This volume confronts this pervasive problem
head on, by having each chapter address a common set of questions on
phonology, meaning, phonetics, typology, psychological status, and
transcription. Commentary is added as counterpoint to some chapters, with
responses by the chapter authors, giving a taste of current debate in the
field.
