The main focus of the course will be on intonation, the melody of speech. We will read the textbook to learn the forms and functions of English intonation, and will discuss how speakers make use of intonation in communication. The first few weeks will be used to familiarize students with the basic terminology, concepts, and theories of phonetics.
