Prosody and Focus in European Portuguese: Phonological Phrasing and Intonation (Outstanding Dissertations in Linguistics)

This work is an investigation of the relation between prosodic structure, intonational structure and focus realisation in European Portuguese and is discussed from a cross-linguistic perspective, with special reference to languages like English, Dutch, German, different varieties of Italian, and Bengali. Also relevant to a general understanding of the prosodic reflexes of focus are languages like Hungarian, Korean, Basque and Wolof.
