In tonal languages, both lexical-level prosody and sentence-level prosody primarily manifest through pitch modulation. Their intricate relationship has always been a fascinating yet bewildering subject to phonologists and phoneticians. This book therefore examines different components of intonation in a tonal language, Tianjin Mandarin, to discuss the interaction between different levels of speech prosody in production and perception. It also reviews a comprehensive account of models used in current prosody research, introduces the dialect of Tianjin Mandarin, offers a reproductive way of studying intonation in tonal languages, and discusses the implications for a broader scope of intonational phonology in tonal languages. The book will appeal to readers who are interested in speech prosody, the phonetics and phonology of tonal languages and dialects of Mandarin.
