About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book is mainly about prosody, its relationship with pragmatics, and the implications of this relationship for English language teaching, learning, and use. There is much in it that I recommend the book. … This book also draws out pedagogical implications relevant to teaching English and offers a platform for comparing native and non-native speech performance in the ELT context. … On the whole, this book offers a good example of critical scholarly engagement balanced with practical pedagogical recommendations.” (Christine C. M. Goh, ELT Journal, Vol. 68 (2), April, 2014)
