from Part I - English in selected regional and national habitats with a glance at the role of outward-bound communication needs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 January 2016
This chapter reviews studies on Indian English prosody, in the main, syllable structure, word-stress, speech rhythm, intonation and information structure. The review is supplemented with a critical discussion of the investigations of the prosodic features, especially those that have a bearing on related issues, such as word-stress, and that are a major factor in the difference between native varieties of English (NE, for short) and Indian varieties of English (IndE, for short). The topics are presented with a view to approaching the problem of difficulties in the communicative import of IndE speech.
