Sunday, December 9th, 2012, 2:15 PM - 4:20 PM

Speaker: Yoshio Ido, Professor Emeritus of Ehime University

Intonation performs a variety of functions in the light of evidence from naturally occurring spoken discourse. Accordingly my talk is going to elaborate on the brief sketch of tone unit basing upon Brazil (1985), and to see how the functions of pitch, key & termination, and pitch sequence make commitment to the EFL teaching.
