Overview

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.
