Riguardo questo articolo

Paperback. This volume covers the main aspects of intonation, written by international researchers in the field. Following the introduction, fourteen chapters are organized into five thematic sections: overview of intonation, prominence and focus, boundaries and discourse, intonation modelling and intonation technology. Each chapter is basically autonomous within a thematic section, but the subject of several chapters extends over more than one thematic section. The combination of a wide range of research areas, as well as interdisciplinary approaches in the study of intonation, makes this volume a unique contribution to the international scientific community. Basic knowledge of intonation and prosody is assumed in the context of linguistic and computational backgrounds. Following the introduction, fourteen papers which represent current research on intonation are organised into five thematic sections: (I) Overview of Intonation, (II) Prominence and Focus, (III) Boundaries and Discourse, (IV) Intonation Modelling, and (V) Intonation Technology. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
