Intonation and Meaning is a monograph on the relationship between intonation, stress, intonation structure, and meaning in communication. Daniel Büring presents phenomena related to prominence, accent, focus, and givenness, and analyzes how information is organized and expressed through intonation characteristics. The book covers theories of focus and givenness, the representation and semantics of focus/givenness, intonation structure, the relationship between intonation structure and information structure, the realization of focus/givenness, the meaning of tones, and their association with focus. The book integrates issues from phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and presents and compares modern theoretical approaches to the meaning of intonation. This monograph is suitable for graduate students, lecturers, and researchers in the field of linguistics, especially phonetics, phonology, semantics, and pragmatics.
