Recenzje

'This book will make a very useful resource for graduate students and researchers in other areas of linguistics wanting to understand how prosody and intonation work on a theoretical and practical level. It is becoming increasingly clear that prosody and intonation interact with all other levels of language, from phones to whole discourses, so researchers need the tools and understanding to analyse the contribution of prosody to their data. It is great to see the broad coverage of levels of prosody and languages in this book.' Sasha Calhoun, Senior Lecturer and Linguistics Programme Director, Victoria University of Wellington
