ANTONIS BOTINIS 1. 1 Background This introduction provides
essential information about the structure and the objects of study
of this volume. Following the introduction, fourteen papers which
represent current research on intonation are organised into five
thematic sections: (I) Overview of Intonation, (II) Prominence and
Focus, (III) Boundaries and Discourse, (IV) Intonation Modelling,
and (V) Intonation Technology. Within the sections the papers are
arranged thematically, although several papers which deal with
various aspects of intonation and prosody are basically
intersectional. As the title indicates, "Intonation: Analysis,
Modelling and Technology" is a contribution to the study of
prosody, with major emphasis on intonation. Intonation and tonal
themes are thus the central object of the volume, although temporal
and dynamic aspects are also taken into consideration by a good
number of papers. Although tonal and prosodic distinctions have
been dealt with throughout man's literate history with reference to
the study of language, for example by classical philosophers such
as Plato and Aristotle, it is in recent decades that we have
witnessed the most fertile growth in intonation studies, as with
experimental phonetics and speech technology in general. As Rossi
(this volume) points out, intonation research really began to
blossom in the sixties with a multi fold increase in prosodic
studies, reflected in contributions to the International Congress
of Phonetic Sciences (ICPhS), and in the international literature."
