The essays in this volume are all analyses of prosody--primarily intonation and rhythm--and the role it plays in everyday conversation. Prosody emerges as a strategy deployed by interactants in the management of turn-taking and floor-holding; in the negotiation of conversational activities such as repair, assessments, announcements, reproaches and news receipts; and in the keying of the tone or modality of interactional sequences. The material studied is taken not from constructed laboratory data but from genuine English, German and Italian conversations.
Storylines...Picture sequences for language practice
Storylines consists of twenty picture sequences, each one depicting a story of immediate and contemporary appeal (conservation, sport, fashion, technology, natural disasters, charity work, humour and human interest), plus full exploitation material. The picture sequences are of four distinct types: comic, narrative, documentary and photographic, each with its own style of illustration .
