Cambridge Studies in Linguistics #0079: Intonational Phonology

Cambridge Studies in Linguistics #0079: Intonational Phonology Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Intonation is becoming increasingly prominent in areas from phonology to speech recognition. Ladd gives an exceptionally clear overview of the key ideas of Pierrehumbert's autosegmental-metrical theory to intonational phonology, and discusses alternative approaches. He also looks critically at the version put forward by generativists, and offers his own solutions. This book will appeal to phonologists as an original contribution, and will be welcomed by students and researchers, who will find in it the ideal overview of recent work.

Synopsis:

Overview of current autosegmental-metrical ideas on intonational phonology, including extensive new cross-linguistic material.

Synopsis:

Intonation is of increasing importance in fields from syntax to speech recognition. Ladd gives an exceptionally clear presentation of the key ideas of Pierrehumbert's autosegmental-metrical theory of intonational phonology and relates them to the ideas of competing approaches. He presents a wealth of new material on the cross-language comparison of intonation and offers some new theoretical proposals. This book will appeal to phonologists and phoneticians as an original contribution and will be welcomed by a wide range of students and researchers as an ideal overview of recent work.
