Recent studies on the analysis of intonational function examine a r a n ~ of materials from cue phrases in monologue (Litman and Hirschberg, 1990) and dialogue (Hirschberg and Litman, 1987; Hockey, 1991) to longer utterances in both monologue and dialogue (McLemore, 1991). Results match specific intonational tunes to certain discourse functions which are more or less well defined. Although these results make a convincing case that intonation does signal a change in discourse structure, the specification of discourse function remains vague. . | ON THE INTONATION OF MONO- AND DI-SYLLABIC WORDS WITHIN THE DISCOURSE FRAMEWORK OF CONVERSATIONAL GAMES Jacqueline c. Kowtko Human Communication Research Centre University of Edinburgh 2 Buccleuch Place Edinburgh EH8 9LW SCOTLAND Internet Abstract Recent studies on the analysis of intonational function examine a range of materials from cue phrases in monologue Litman and Hirschberg 1990 and dialogue Hirschberg and Litman 1987 Hockey 1991 to longer utterances in both monologue and dialogue McLemore 1991 . Results match specific intonational tunes to certain discourse functions which are more or less well defined. Although these results make a convincing case that intonation does signal a change in discourse structure the specification of discourse function remains vague. A suitable taxonomy is needed to fine-tune the relationship between intonation and discourse function. A recent analysis of dialogue Kowtko et al. 1991 provides a framework of conversational games which allows more fine-grained examination of prosodic function. The current paper introduces an intonational analysis of mono-and di-syllabic words based upon such a framework and compares results in progress with previous work on intonation. Introduction Recent approaches to the analysis of intonational function within dialogue include an examination of the tunes carried by single-word cue phrases . now Hirschberg and Litman 1987 okay Hockey 1991 and others Litman and Hirschberg 1990 across different discourse situations. The literiL-ture also includes a more sweeping approach toward classifying phrase-final tunes which presents broadly generalized discourse functions for each of three types of intonational tune phrase-final rise level and fall McLemore 1991 . Since there is currently no workable grammar of discourse these studies devise their own relevant discourse categories. Hockey 1991 p. 1 reflects upon the problem with reference to cue phrases. She states that A UK .
