Abstract:

Discover the intricate dynamics of L2 prosody with this pioneering
study, which examines how advanced learners from Czech, German, and
Spanish backgrounds engage with British and American English
intonation. By employing a multidimensional approach - spanning
phonetic, phonological, discourse-pragmatic, and sociolinguistic
perspectives - this book provides a comprehensive overview of L2
prosodic features, highlighting patterns of intonational phrasing, f0
range, and the use of tones and uptalk. Building on foundational works
by Pierrehumbert, Mennen, and Gut, this work bridges significant gaps
in the field by comparing different L1 and L2 varieties, integrating
diverse linguistic variables, and proposing a multifactorial model of
L2 prosody. Relevant for linguists, language educators, and
researchers in SLA, the findings offer valuable insights for reducing
foreign accents and enhancing intelligibility, making it an essential
resource for improving language teaching methodologies and learner
outcomes. Dive into this essential guide and elevate your
understanding of L2 prosody and its impact on effective communication.
