If you have not done so yet, try to look at the intonation tutorial I referenced in last week's notes. I repeat the info here for your convenience:
There is an excellent and brief intonation tutorial on the web at the following location: http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~jjv/. This is the homepage of Jennifer Venditti, an OSU Linguistics alumna who is now a postdoc at Columbia University. Look under "Teaching" for the "Intro to Intonation [ppt.]". If you download this to your computer, you can run the slide show in Powerpoint, and all the sound examples work (click on the speaker icon in each slide that has one to hear the examples). Relevant for today are the Introduction, Topic #1 and Topic #2. (We'll get to Topic #3 next week).
Topic #3 is about phrasing. If we have time this week, we'll talk about phrasing so that we can start looking at utterances that consist of more than a single phrase. Examples of utterances consisting of more than one phrase are on the main page: armani2, armani3 armani9, armani10 armani12.
