it gives information beyond just the basic meaning of the words. It can express the speaker's attitude or feeling about something, as well as giving grammatical information (such as distinguishing between a statement and a question).
Only recently have researchers begun to examine how intonation is used to signal topic structure in conversation, and most of the emphasis has been on F0 characteristics in production, rather than perception. The present study was designed to test whether certain F0 cues found to signal paragraph boundaries could also signal topic boundaries in conversation. Eight listening tests were constructed using excerpts isolated from one face-to-face (FF) and one non-face-to-face (NFF) conversation. Half of the tests were also filtered so as to make them unintelligible, but with F0 patterns preserved. Subjects then made decisions about preceding or following topics for each isolated test utterance, based solely on the information present in the utterance. The results show that syntactic and semantic information provides much stronger topic cues in both FF and NFF conversations than does intonation; rising F0 (as a question marker) is the strongest intonation cue, signaling topic continuation. Overall, the results suggest that the total context in which utterances are placed and the inherent optionality of conversational interaction may be the major factors contributing to the way topics are managed in natural conversation.
