Prosody is one of the core components of language and communication wouldn’t be effective without prosody. In the past few decades, a substantial literature on prosody has emerged, but the precise nature of prosody continues to be unclear and many basic questions concerned remain to be unresolved. The focus of this new book edited by Hongming Zhang and Youyong Qian is to offer a comprehensive and thoughtful examination of a wide range of topics related to prosody. It brings together the most recent research in prosody and also charts influence on some diverse fields such as multimedia communication and language acquisition. The chapters of the book are well organized: the first part discusses the prosodic hierarchy and prosodic units; the second part focuses on prosodic patterns; the third part addresses the interface issues between prosody and morphosyntax; the last part deals with prosody both in first and second language acquisition, which is arranged from ontological research on prosody to applied research on prosody. In this book review, the content of each chapter in this book will be introduced in turn and the points that need further discussion will be examined in detail combined with the relevant linguistic theory or related language phenomenon.
