Analysing Conversation by Beatrice Szczepek Reed
This is an accessible introduction to the prosody of everyday conversation, and its analysis. Basic concepts and methods of interpretation are explained, and a wealth of examples from naturally-occurring talk are used to demonstrate the roles of pitch, time, loudness and voice quality.
'Beatrice Szczepek Reed has written a lucid introduction to English prosody for scholars working with interactional dataThis is an invaluable resource for both students and researchers like myself who appreciate the importance of prosody and phonetics for understanding social interaction in English but who need much more grounding in the concepts, terms and techniques of this highly sophisticated area of study. Crisp audio clips enliven Szczepek Reed's examples and offer essential exposure to details of prosody in common varieties of English.' - Cecilia E. Ford, Professor of English and Sociology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA
