Abstract
The non‐segmental effects of speech, referred to as “melody,” are classified into two domains—prosodie and paralinguistic. After an outline of the rationale for his distinction, detailed attention is given to the components of the prosodie domain (stress, center, juncture, pitch direction, pitch height, utterance unit, utterance group) and to their functions in discourse: semantic, syntactic, and dialogic.
