PROSODY: THEORY AND EXPERIMENT
Studies Presented to Gösta Bruce
edited by
Merle Horne
Dept. of Linguistics and Phonetics

The study of prosody is perhaps the area of speech research which has
undergone the most noticeable development during the past ten to fifteen
years. This book contains contributions by 15 internationally recognized
experts (including M. Beckman, N. Campbell, C. Gussenhoven, J. Hirschberg,
D. Hirst, D.R. Ladd, M. Ostendorf, J. Pierrehumbert, E. Selkirk, S.
Shattuck-Hufnagel, and J. Terken) in different areas of prosody which
provide readers with the most current and comprehensive picture of the
major areas of research within the field. The contributions not only
provide a survey of major developments in prosody during the past 1520
years, but also present ongoing work as well as point to areas where future
research is needed. The chapters deal with a wide range of topics including
the representation of tones and intonation, evidence for and constraints on
prosodic phrasing, prosodic boundary detection, articulatory dynamics of
stress, timing in speech, and prosodic correlates of speaking style, as
well as the perception of prosodic prominence.
The book offers investigators in all areas of speech communication
(phonetics, phonology, speech technology) with a comprehensive and coherent
presentation of contemporary prosodic research.
