Nordic Prosody: Proceedings of the IXth Conference, Lund 2004

by Gösta Bruce (Editor), Merle Horne (Editor)

This volume contains the revised texts of the papers given at the ninth Nordic Prosody conference, held at Lund University, Sweden, in August 2004. The twenty-six contributions cover a wide range of aspects of Nordic prosody including not only Scandinavian languages and dialects – Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish – but also of related Estonian, Russian, and Orkney and Shetland dialects of English. The papers can be divided into the following accentuation from phonetic or phonological starting-points, prosody from general linguistic perspectives, both grammar and pragmatics, prosody modelling for human – machine interaction, and other phonetic aspects of prosody including quantity.
