This book presents an experimental-phonetic approach to the study
of intonation, defined as the ensemble of pitch variations in
speech. It gives a detailed explication of the analysis of
intonation by means of the stylization method: studying the
perceptual consequences of deliberate simplifications of speech
melody makes it possible to give a description in terms of
perceptually relevant, discrete events. Theoretical insights and
the acoustic, perceptual, and physiological experimental evidence
that supports them are amply discussed. Phoneticians and speech
scientists will find the innovative, unique features of this book
of interest.
