Beskrivning
To apply the same approaches to analysing spoken and written formulaic language is problematic; to do so masks the fact that the contextual meaning of spoken formulaic language is encoded, to a large extent, in its prosody. In The Prosody of Formulaic Sequences, Phoebe Lin offers a new perspective on formulaic language, arguing that while past research often treats formulaic language as a lexical phenomenon, the phonological aspect of it is a more fundamental facet.This book draws its conclusions from three original, empirical studies of spoken formulaic language, assessing intonation unit boundaries as well as features such as tempo and stress placement. Across all studies, Lin considers questions of methodology and conceptual framework.The corpus-based descriptions of prosody outlined in this book not only deepen our understanding of the nature of formulaic language but have important implications for English Language Teaching and automatic speech synthesis.

As one of the first studies to empirically test the hypothesis of distinct prosodic cues signalling formulaicity, Lin's exploration and careful description of various methods (e.g. automatic extraction, native speaker judgment) allow for an important evaluation of which methods are most appropriate and useful for identifying formulaic language ... Moreover, the level of detail with which Lin describes her method presents a useful research template that is easily transferable to other studies ... Provides a compelling contribution to the study of formulaicity and convincingly demonstrates the potential of prosodic cues for the identification of formulaic sequences.
