The book provides an in-depth analysis of the prosody of Singapore English, structured around the Prosodic Hierarchy. It explores the syllable as the foundational level, highlighting segmental processes, followed by the prosodic word domain characterized by recursive tonal patterns. The intonational phrase is examined next, where boundary tones significantly influence final particles. Notably, the absence of an intermediate phrase challenges conventional prosodic structures, offering a unique perspective on Singapore English's tonal and intonational characteristics.
