Intonation Patterns in Tamil

G. Ravisankar

This book is the first comprehensive work on Tamil intonation. It analyses intonation of Tamil employing impressionistic and instrumental (spectograph and pitch analyser) approaches, to fix intonation patterns of different kinds of sentences. As a theoretical basis is attempted in this work, it will certainly be useful to researchers interested in studying intonation patterns of Indian languages in general and Dravidian languages in particular.
