| | LLT Journal: Signal Analysis Software for Teaching Discourse Intonation |
 | | Consequently, the recent studies on the effectiveness of visual feedback in teaching intonation and on the use of technology to develop new measures of speaking proficiency represent the type of ongoing research that must be done in addition to developing better and more efficient computer software. | | | One of the greatest advantages of using computer-assisted pronunciation and intonation tutors, for example, is that the computer serves both as a medium of instruction and as a tool for research; that is, a software program, while teaching pronunciation, can simultaneously keep detailed and thorough records of student performance and progress. | | | The important idea is that intonation is used as a signaling device in discourse and must be analyzed and determined on the basis of the surrounding context. |

| | Review of "Intonation Systems" |
| | As intonation research is still in its toddler years, their project was not a typological relevant overview of the world's intonation systems, but rather a first step towards comparison of intonation systems. | | | The study of Japanese intonation faces an empirical problem: As a pitch-accent language (Cruttenden 1986) its word stress interferes with the physical appearance of intonation, rather than "working together", as in the "intonation languages" (Cruttenden 1986). | | | As a practical step, they developed a system of transcribing intonation (INTSINT), which is used by the majority of the contributors. |

| | Intonation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Bad intonation refers to the de-tuning that occurs when the string is stretched as it is fretted. | | | An intermediate position is occupied by languages with tonal word accent, for instance Norwegian. | | | For a guitar, intonation refers to the length of the strings relative to the position of the frets. |

| | The Just Intonation Primer |
| | Further, because dissonances in Just Intonation are the products of concatenations of simpler intervals, consonance and dissonance coexist in a rational framework and their mutual relations are readily comprehensible. | | | Changing the pitches available on a digital synthesizer simply means changing the data values in a tuning table, or switching to a different table. | | | He is perhaps best known as the composer of the early minimalist piece In C (1964), which is not explicitly a Just Intonation piece, although it has sometimes been performed this way. |

| | INTONATION AND SYNTAX: ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW |
| | As a result, intonation, which was considered as resulting from a pure emotional and attitudinal mechanism, has now to be evaluated in the light of possible interactions with other linguistic entities. | | | To find out which are the features involved, we have to turn to experimental data (of course our example is trivial, and the result has been known for a long time). | | | Most if not all recent studies of sentence intonation adopts the theoretical views developed by Pierrehumbert-Beckman (Beckman, M. and Pierrehumbert, J., 1986), including the ToBI set of notation tools to describe intonation events. |

| | Pythagorean Tuning - Just Intonation Context |
| | One way to identify a given system of just intonation is to consider both the largest prime number used in building its interval ratios, and the most complex intervals it includes based on multiplex (n:1) or superparticular (n+1:n) ratios. | | | From a 20th-century perspective, both the quintal and tertian systems of just intonation may seem artificially "limited," and contemporary performers and theorists are exploring the possibilities of 7-limit and even more complex systems. | | | What changes in just intonation systems is not so much whether a given interval is used, but how it is used. |

| | There are any number of potential features or problems or defects which could be present in a guitar and affect intonation in such a way as to require attention or even prior remediation before any attempt is made to upgrade intonation. | | | If one starts with a guitar to which nothing has been done to correct intonation, adding compensation at the saddle as described above will produce a dramatic improvement in intonation, especially as playing moves to higher positions on the fingerboard. | | | Each of these string stretch components must be addressed at the appropriate end of the string for best intonation results. |

| | INTONATION MODELS |
| | Discourse intonation, as proposed by David Brazil, attempts to make the simplest possible description, and it attempts to adopt the language user’s, not the linguist’s perspective: contextual factors are of paramount importance, and the speaker’s perceptions are central. | | | It is a model of intonation where ideas proposed by O’Connor and Arnold are combined with those advocated by David Brazil that may achieve the best results in the teaching of intonation. | | | Moreover, students should become observers of naturally occurring speech, so that they can become not only better listeners, but also better users of intonation. |

| | Intonation Confusion |
| | I started learning as much as possible about intonation because I had a problem with it and was very confused by all the information I was getting. | | | But everything I find online about just intonation (which is presumably the purest and best?), when not too mathematical to understand, actually explains the OPPOSITE: see en.wikipedia.org re 'major third', which works out as much larger in equal temperament. | | | but basically, it is the control of octaves, fourths and fifths that will clarify the mind so that you can do expressive intonation with some systematicity. |

| | English has a number of intonation patterns which add conventionalized meanings to the utterance: question, statement, surprise, disbelief, sarcasm, teasing. | | | Many other languages use only syntactic devices for contrastive emphasis, for example, moving the emphasized phrase to the beginning of the sentence. | | | Two examples of cross-linguistic differences in intonation patterns: |

| | In addition, the new saddle adjustment screws were just long enough to allow intonation of the B and high E strings on my '65 Musicmaster II. | | | String changes are never a problem, and since I always use the same make, type, and size of strings, I avoid intonation adjustments which would weaken the screws." | | | This solution requires no actual modification to your guitar and no parts to buy, so it can't hurt to try it. |

| | In systems of well temperament, and there were many, the goal was to make all keys useable by compromising each of them slightly. | | | His tuning system was in fact schismatic temperament, which is indeed capable of far closer approximations to just intonation consonances than 12-note equal temperament or even meantone temperament, but still alters the pure ratios of just intonation slightly in order to achieve a simpler and more flexible system than true just intonation. | | | Composers often impose a limit on how complex the ratios used are: for example, a composer may write in "7-limit JI", meaning that no prime number larger than 7 features in the ratios they use. |

| | Just Intonation Explained |
| | In just intonation, that's the way it is. Fractions in tuning are usually written in such a way as to bring them between 1/1 and 2/1, multiplying or dividing by 2 when necessary. | | | There are only eleven types of intervals available instead of the potential several dozen that exist in even the simplest just system, and you don't get gradations of different sizes of major third or major sixths the way you do in just tuning. | | | In the notation of just-intonation (pure) tuning, pitches are given as fractions, which are actually ratios between the named pitch and a constant fundamental. |
