The ten papers in this collection are based on presentations given during a colloquium held November 14-15, 1969, at the University of Toronto. The papers, written in either English or French, cover various topics related to prosodic feature analysis in general; several concern the analysis of specific languages. General topics include discussions on physical correlates of some prosodic features, the expressive function of intonation, relative height, machine translation, the contribution of prosodic analysis to the study of phonology, and language acquisition. More specific language topics include remarks on French and Czech fixed accent, accent in the Eastern Slavic languages, rhythm in the language of French Canada, and the analysis of tone in the Tibeto-Burman languages of Nepal. Also included is a report of a round-table discussion concerning pitch extraction, recognition of intonational patterns, and speech synthesis. Questions and discussion on the various topics are included throughout the book. (VM)
