Using examples from a wide variety of languages, this book reveals why speakers vary their pitch, what these variations mean, and how they are integrated into our grammars. All languages use modulations in pitch to form utterances. Pitch modulation encodes lexical "tone" to signal boundaries between morphemes or words, and encodes "intonation" to give words and sentences an additional meaning that isn't part of their original sense.

Book Description:
All languages use modulations in pitch to give shape to utterances. Pitch modulation functions in two ways: to encode lexical 'tone', that is, to signal boundaries between morphemes or words, and to encode 'intonation', that is, to give words and sentences a further meaning that isn't part of the meaning of the words themselves. Using examples from a wide variety of languages, this book explains why speakers vary their pitch, what these variations mean, and how they are integrated into our grammars.
