Abstract

This paper outlines a model designed for the description of East Norwegian sencetece intonation. It is argued that there is a specific kind of intonational structure in Norwegian that is restricted to assertions and which will therefore normally be perceived as a prosodic clue to the indentification of assertive clauses, whether embedded ro syntactically independent.
