{"product_id":"the-intonation-of-givenness-stefan-baumann-9783484305083","title":"The Intonation of Givenness: Evidence from German","description":"This book addresses students and researchers of phonetics\/phonology, and the semantics and pragmatics of discourse. It employs an autosegmental-metrical model of intonation to investigate the marking of aspects of information structure, concentrating on the Given-New dimension. The empirical evidence provided here is based on German. It shows that the dichotomy of 'accented' versus 'uncaccented' corresponding to 'New' versus 'Given' information is inadequate. In fact, there is evidence that a range of pitch accent types can be mapped onto the gradient scale of Givenness degrees, with the pitch height on the accented syllable being the determining factor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan Baumann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3484305088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783484305083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Stefan Baumann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45064663302399,"sku":"9783484305083","price":154.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1a33ad1-d3cd-4f7f-a406-da5193cd4cb1.jpg?v=1712124769","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-intonation-of-givenness-stefan-baumann-9783484305083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
