Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This volume brings together new work on prosody and prosodic interfaces from international experts in the field. The book is divided into three parts that explore topics in word prosody and phrase prosody, lexical tone and intonation, and the syntax-prosody interface. While many recent studies have focused on prosody and related questions, a significant number of languages, dialects, and varieties remain largely undocumented or understudied in this respect. Thechapters in this volume help to fill this empirical gap, with investigations into languages such as Choguita Raramuri (Mexico), Poko (Papua New Guinea), Rere (Sudan), and Uspanteko (Guatemala), alongsidemore widely studied languages such as Japanese and Serbian.
