Description

The course includes phenomena such as rhythm, stress, tone, accentuation, intonation and phrasing. It deals with issues concerning the function of prosody and how prosody is expressed physically in the speech signal. The course deals with how prosody reflects the structure of language (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics), how prosody expresses textual meanings, and the role it plays in conversation. The course deals with the rhythm of speech, accentuation and intonation, the interaction of the various qualities of prosodic parameters with each other and with other aspects of speech, as well as the phonological description of prosodic structure. In addition, the course illuminates the role of prosody in the planning and perception of speech, the acquisition of prosody and the question of what is meant by dysprosody.
