ItemAustralia and New Guinea(Oxford University Press, 2021)
This handbook presents detailed accounts of current research in all aspects of language prosody, with chapters written by leading experts from various disciplines. The last four decades have seen major theoretical and empirical breakthroughs in the field, many of them informed by interdisciplinary approaches, as reflected in this volume. Following an introductory chapter covering the fundamentals of language prosody research, Parts II and III explore prosody in speech production and in relation to linguistic structure. Part IV provides overviews of prosodic systems across the world, with case studies from Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia and the Pacific, and the Americas. The chapters in Parts V, VI, and VII investigate prosody in communication, in language processing, and in language acquisition (respectively), while Part VIII examines prosody in technology and the arts.

ItemIntonation in Six Dialects of Bininj Gun-wok(Oxford University Press, 2005)Abstract It is particularly significant to examine the intonational systems of typologically diverse languages in light of renewed interest in ‘intonational universals’. As yet, only a handful of indigenous Australian languages possess significant intonational descriptions. This chapter examines the intonational phonology of six closely-related varieties of a Northern Australian language, Bininj Gun-wok, also known as Mayali. It then outlines transcription conventions that are designed to transcribe significant prosodic events in this language and its various dialects.

ItemIntonational Variation in Four Dialects of English: the High Rising Tune(Oxford University Press, 2005)Abstract This chapter investigates phonetic and phonological aspects of rising tunes, and to a lesser extent, pitch accent realization in certain varieties of English, namely, General Australian English, New Zealand English, Glasgow English, and other Northern British English varieties. Differences among the varieties are also described relative to the typological framework outlined in Ladd (1996), whereby intonational differences are either semantic, systemic, phonetic, and phonotactic. The chapter also examines how transcription systems can deal with sociophonetic aspects of tonal variation within and among these varieties, focusing in particular on the ‘rising’ tunes that often accompany declarative statements in many of the above mentioned varieties. An example of one of these rising tunes is what is often referred to as the characteristic ‘HRT’ (high rising terminal) of Australian English and New Zealand English. Two approaches to the transcription of these differences are discussed.
