9780582553668: Discourse, Intonation and Language Teaching

Synopsis

As linguists and language teachers have become more and more interested in communicative competence, in describing and teaching the productive and interpretive rules of interaction, they have also come to appreciate the inadequacy of existing descriptions of intonation. This book presents a new description developed to account for the interactive significance of intonation, relates it to an existing description of discourse structure and goes on to discuss both the general question of the place of intonation in language teaching and how this particular description might be taught.
