Extract

In the introduction to Part 1 (Miller and Tench, 1980) we claimed that although we were not presenting a comprehensive account of Hausa intonation, we were presenting aspects of it that had not received specific attention before. In the first part, we presented our findings in respect of isolated utterances; in this part, we wish to extend that analysis to cover features of Hausa intonation in connected text. Our procedure is to present an intonational analysis of two fables, each with a detailed commentary, and to accompany this up with some general comments.
