Levis, John M.
ELT Journal, v55 n1 p47-54 Jan 2001
Discusses the use of focus, or intonational prominence, to create meaning for learners of English. Presents an alternative approach to predicting focus that appeals to functional and meaning regularities that do not depend on extensive written input and are more easily adaptable to normal conversation.
