The
Communicative Value of Intonation in English
“Originally published in
1985 by the English Language Research unit in Birmingham and
revised in 1992, this work sets out David Brazil's description
of the system of intonation in English. This model of English
intonation takes a discourse-based approach and attempts to
assign "meaning" or a communicative value to the different
aspects that make up the system of intonation. Chapters within
the book describe parts of the intonation system which vary
according to speaker choice: the tone unit as a whole, prominence,
key, pitch and orientation. Three chapters are devoted to
tones and their communicative value. This is an important
and controversial work, which has influenced scholars in the
field and ELT materials writers alike. A cassette containing
all the examples of intonation features in the book is available.

The
Phonology of English as an International Language
This book advocates a new
approach to pronunciation teaching, in which the goal is mutual
intelligibility among non-native speakers, rather than imitating
native speakers. It will be of interest to all teachers of
English as an International Language, especially Business
English. It proposes a basic core of phonologic teaching,
with controversial suggestions for what should be included.
