This textbook provides an accessible introduction to discourse
intonation for ESL/EFL instructors, whether practicing or in
pre-service graduate programs. Because intonation (typically
defined as pitch structure that also includes rhythm and stress
patterns) is used to form impressions about a speaker's attitude,
it is crucial that instructors understand the details of the
underlying linguistic system so that they can help students avoid
the more common intonation-related pitfalls they experience when
communicating in an academic setting. This textbook relies heavily
on the Brazil model; chapters are organized around different parts
of that model and how they can be most effectively taught. Readers
will learn the conventions underlying, for example, how we group
words in prosodic units, how we understand turn-taking cues in
conversation, and how we assess whether someone is feeling angry or
sad, for example.
