Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

This course is an in-depth study of intonation--the manipulation of pitch and length to signify sentence-level meaning--in English as well as in other languages. This course will have two components, which will overlap considerably. In the laboratory skills component, you will learn how to collect, transcribe, measure, and analyze intonational data in Praat (a program for acoustic analysis), while in the theoretical component, you will read about and test the claims of various theories of intonation. With these skills, you will conduct independent research over the course of the semester. The course will also cover the interface between intonation and syntax/semantics, including the realization of focus in prosody.
