This volume explores the elusive subject of English prosody-the
stress, rhythm and intonation of the language-, and its relevance
for English language teaching. Its sharp focus will be especially
welcomed by teachers of English to non-native speakers, but also by
scholars and researchers interested in Applied Linguistics. The
book examines key issues in the development of prosody and delves
into the role of intonation in the construction of meaning. The
contributions tackle difficult areas of intonation for language
learners, providing a theoretical analysis of each stumbling block
as well as a practical explanation for teachers and teacher
trainers. The numerous issues dealt with in the book include stress
and rhythm; tone units and information structure; intonation and
pragmatic meaning; tonicity and markedness, etc... The authors have
deployed speech analysis software to illustrate their examples as
well as to encourage readers to carry out their own computerized
prosodic analyses.
