This handbook presents detailed accounts of current research in all aspects of language prosody, written by leading experts from different 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 section covering the fundamentals of language prosody research, Parts II and III trace out the position of prosody in linguistic structure and explore prosody in speech perception and production. 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, while Part VIII examines prosody in technology and the arts. The volume's comprehensive coverage and multidisciplinary perspectives will make it an invaluable resource for all researchers, students, and practitioners interested in prosody.
Carlos Gussenhoven is Professor of General and Experimental Phonology at Radboud University, Nijmegen, where he held a personal chair from 1996 to 2011. He has held positions at UC Berkeley, Queen Mary University of London, and National Chiao Tung University, as well as well as guest professorships at the University of Konstanz and Nanjing University. His many publications include Understanding Phonology (4th ed, with Haike Jacobs; Routledge 2017) and The Phonology of Tone and Intonation (CUP, 2004).
Aoju Chen is Professor of Language Development in Relation to Socialisation and Identity at Utrecht University. She has worked extensively on the production, perception, and processing of prosodic meaning and acquisition of prosody in a first and second language from a cross-linguistic perspective. More recently, she has extended her work to research on the social impact of developing language abilities in a first or second language. She is currently an associate editor of Laboratory Phonology and an elected board member of the ISCA Special Interest Group on Speech Prosody (SPoSIG).
