抄録
This book is an introduction to English intonation and is the only Japanese book of its kind currently on sale. The notable features of the book are the summary of the different systems of intonational transcription and analysis that have been and are being used, and the detailed analyses of the actual uses of intonation found in a large corpus of spoken English. It is regrettable that tape recordings of the examples given are not available to the reader, but the book is indispensable for all those majoring in English phonetics.
