Publisher's Synopsis

This study is concerned with the acquisition of intonation by German/English bilingual children. Nucleus placement, pitch movement and intonational phrasing were analysed on both the phonetic and the phonological level. The analysis was carried out using both the tonetic (British) and the ToBI transcription systems. The sequence of acquisition and aspects of language representation during language acquisition are described.
