Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,3, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Sound & Meaning: An Introduction to Suprasegmental Phonetics , language: English, abstract: The paper is concerned with the analysis of short linguistic units on the basis of David Brazil's theory of discourse intonation. The first part of the paper gives a general outline of Brazil's theory and his systematic approach to intonation analysis. The second part focusses on the analysis of suprasegmental phonetical structures of an actual text example.
The paper is not aimed at presenting a new linguistic approach nor at critically analysing an existing theory but rather at using and exemplifying this theory.
What is exemplified is David Brazil's theory of discourse intonation as presented in his book Pronunciation for Advanced Learners of English.
