Halliday, a British-born and Australian-retired linguist, and Greaves (emeritus English, York U., Toronto) investigate the role of sound in creating meaning in speech. They begin by explaining how speech sound is studied, specifically how it is identified, represented, and interpreted and the linguistic environment of intonation. Then they look at intonation in textual, interpersonal, and ideational metafunctions; survey the secondary tones; and present a microtext as a case study. A final section provides a guide for analyzing the three metafunctions at the general, clausal, informational, and phonological levels. The disk contains audio examples. No index is provided.
