Perzeption und kognitive Verarbeitung der Sprechmelodie - Theoretische Grundlagen und empirische Untersuchungen

The study presented here is concerned with the speech melody of (Standard) German and examines three central units of speech melody which occur with stressed words. They convey attitudinal meanings which indicate whether what is being said in the speaker’s argument should be interpreted as given, new or unexpected.
