More specifically, tone encodes segments and morphemes, and intonation gives utterances a further discoursal meaning that is independent of the meanings of the words themselves. In this comprehensive survey, Carlos Gussenhoven provides an overview of research into tone and intonation, discussing why speakers vary their pitch, what pitch variations mean, and how they are integrated into our grammars. He also explains why intonation in part appears to be universally understood, while at other times it is language-specific and can lead to misunderstandings. After eight chapters on general topics relating to pitch modulation, the book's central arguments are illustrated with comprehensive phonological descriptions - partly in Optimality Theory - of the tonal and intonational systems of six languages, including Japanese, Dutch, and English.Research surveys in linguistics.The Phonology of Tone & IntonationTone (Phonetics)Intonation (Phonetics)Grammar, Comparative and generalPhonologyTone (Phonetics)Intonation (Phonetics)Grammar, Comparative and generalPhonology.414/.6Gussenhoven Carlos1946-221241UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910784409703321Phonology of tone and intonation748009UNINA
