Written in a clear and engaging style by a poet and teacher with more than thirty years of experience teaching the subject, this book explains the fundamental components and technical details necessary to fully understand the meaning of poems.Along with important historical and theoretical background material, the author discusses basic definitions, methods of scansion, and broader techniques of reading. The chapters cover iambic pentameter and other kinds of metrical verse, rhythm and rhyme, free verse, song, and advanced topics such as poetic meter, linguistic approaches to verse, and the computer scansion of metrical poetry. The book is also supplemented by a user-friendly website featuring student exercises and additional resources. Addressing fundamental topics that so often go untaught in today's poetry courses, this is an essential text for anyone wishing to fully understand the meaning of poetry"

"This experimental phonetic research deals with the prosodies of directive speech in Javanese. The research procedures were: (1) speech production, (2) acoustic analysis, and (3) perception test. The data investigated are three directive utterances, in the form of statements, commands, and questions. The data were obtained by recording dialogues that present polite as well as impolite speech. Three acoustic experiments were conducted for statements, commands, and questions in directive speech: (1) modifications of duration, (2) modifications of contour, and (3) modifications of fundamental frequency. The result of the subsequent perception tests to 90 stimuli with 24 subjects were analysed statistically with ANOVA (Analysis of Variant). Based on this statistic analysis, the prosodic characteristics of polite and impolite speech were identified."

"Predicting prosody from text for text-to-speech synthesis covers the specific aspects of prosody, mainly focusing on how to predict the prosodic information from linguistic text, and then how to exploit the predicted prosodic knowledge for various speech applications. Author K. Sreenivasa Rao discusses proposed methods along with state-of-the-art techniques for the acquisition and incorporation of prosodic knowledge for developing speech systems."

"Extraction and representation of prosodic features for speech processing applications deals with prosody from speech processing point of view with topics including, the significance of prosody for speech processing applications, why prosody need to be incorporated in speech processing applications, and different methods for extraction and representation of prosody for applications such as speech synthesis, speaker recognition, language recognition and speech recognition."
