Intonation: Past, Present, Future

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Text, Speech and Language Technology ((TLTB,volume 15))

Abstract

I do not intend to draw up an inventory of the past and present publications on intonation. Partial or exhaustive references can be found in (1970), (1975), (1976), (1979), (1981), (1984), (1986), (1996), (1997), (1998), (1999). It would require a huge amount of effort to go back and look for past studies on prosody or intonation, which have been increasing exponentially in number over the years. Such a historical overview is beyond the scope of this paper. But it would be worth reporting the milestones which contain the seeds of the concepts underlying current theories on intonation and explain their development.
