The book examines numerous examples with a view to establishing an auto-segmental model of the intonation patterns of standard German. Utterances are segmented into intonational phrases and their focus structure taken as the basis for an allocation to melodies constituted from a set of tones (five in number) categorized as morphemes. The intonation patterns thus obtained are subsequently examined with regard to their semantic functions.
