{"product_id":"the-prosody-of-formulaic-sequences-phoebe-lin-9781350155305","title":"The Prosody of Formulaic Sequences: A Corpus and Discourse Approach","description":"To apply the same approaches to analysing spoken and written formulaic language is problematic; to do so masks the fact that the contextual meaning of spoken formulaic language is encoded, to a large extent, in its prosody. In \u003ci\u003eThe Prosody of Formulaic Sequences\u003c\/i\u003e, Phoebe Lin offers a new perspective on formulaic language, arguing that while past research often treats formulaic language as a lexical phenomenon, the phonological aspect of it is a more fundamental facet.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book draws its conclusions from three original, empirical studies of spoken formulaic language, assessing intonation unit boundaries as well as features such as tempo and stress placement. Across all studies, Lin considers questions of methodology and conceptual framework.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe corpus-based descriptions of prosody outlined in this book not only deepen our understanding of the nature of formulaic language but have important implications for English Language Teaching and automatic speech synthesis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phoebe Lin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350155306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350155305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.52d","brand":"Phoebe Lin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126246011135,"sku":"9781350155305","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49657ff0-9d9d-4194-990d-d290b33ee6f1.jpg?v=1687447084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-prosody-of-formulaic-sequences-phoebe-lin-9781350155305","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
