Intonation Analysis, Modelling and Technology

The volume Intonation: Analysis, Modelling and Technology covers the main aspects of intonation, written by international researchers in the field. Following the Introduction , fourteen chapters are organised into five thematic sections: Overview of Intonation , Prominence and Focus , Boundaries and Discourse , Intonation Modelling and Intonation Technology . Each chapter is basically autonomous within a thematic section, but the subject of several chapters extends over more than one thematic section. The combination of a wide range of research areas, as well as interdisciplinary approaches in the study of intonation, makes this volume a unique contribution to the international scientific community. Basic knowledge of Intonation and Prosody is assumed in the context of linguistic and computational backgrounds. Readers may range from students of advanced undergraduate to postgraduate and research levels as well as individual researchers within a variety of disciplines such as Experimental Phonetics, General and Computational Linguistics, Computer Science, and Speech-Language Engineering.Botinis, Antonis is the author of 'Intonation Analysis, Modelling and Technology' with ISBN 9780792366058 and ISBN 0792366050.
