Prosodic Variation (With)in Languages - CRUZ MARISA - Bog

Prosodic Variation (with)in Languages focuses on research on prosodic variation, comprising intonation, prosodic phrasing, and segmental phenomena that are prosodically motivated or constrained.
The languages investigated in this volume are diverse and include understudied languages and varieties. Besides Portuguese (European, Brazilian, and African varieties), this book covers another three unrelated languages and their varieties: Romanian, Arabic, and Assamese (spoken in India and Bangladesh). The experimental and theoretical approaches share a common goal: to add to the knowledge of prosodic variation in language, and to contribute to the understanding of prosodic grammar.
This book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars interested in prosody, language variation and language typology.
