Description

Explore a new perspective on spoken and written language with The Prosody of Formulaic Sequences by Phoebe Lin. Published by Bloomsbury, this academic work addresses a significant gap in linguistic research. While many studies treat formulaic language as a purely lexical phenomenon, this book argues that the phonological aspect is a more fundamental facet of communication. By focusing on the prosody of spoken language, Phoebe Lin demonstrates how contextual meaning is often encoded through sound and intonation. This research moves beyond traditional approaches to provide a deeper understanding of how formulaic sequences function in real-world discourse. The text is built upon three original, empirical studies of spoken formulaic language, offering researchers and students a data-driven look at intonation unit boundaries and linguistic patterns. This book is an essential resource for those studying linguistics, discourse analysis, and phonology. It provides a fresh framework for analyzing how the sounds of speech contribute to the meaning of fixed expressions, making it a valuable addition to any academic library focused on language structure and syntax.
