{"product_id":"the-phonology-of-tone-and-carlos-gussenhoven-9780521812658","title":"The Phonology of Tone and Intonation","description":"Using examples from a wide variety of languages, this book reveals why speakers vary their pitch, what these variations mean, and how they are integrated into our grammars. All languages use modulations in pitch to form utterances. Pitch modulation encodes lexical \"tone\" to signal boundaries between morphemes or words, and encodes \"intonation\" to give words and sentences an additional meaning that isn't part of their original sense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carlos Gussenhoven\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521812658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521812658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 1.40d","brand":"Carlos Gussenhoven","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058172817663,"sku":"9780521812658","price":106.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0dcfff8a-21dc-4475-a8e1-8c0c0a4f356d.jpg?v=1685051065","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-phonology-of-tone-and-carlos-gussenhoven-9780521812658","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
