Reviews

Daniel Buring's book is both a guide for the perplexed and a substantial original contribution to theory in the semantics and pragmatics of intonation and information structure. It will constitute an indispensable reference point for all researchers in the area. --Mark Steedman, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh
