We investigate the observable spectroscopic characteristics of non-radial pulsation for stars with rotation rates large enough to resolve the stellar surface by Doppler imaging. We show that the intensity variations in time series of theoretical spectra, at each position in the line profile, cannot be described by a single sinusoid: at least one harmonic sinusoid needs to be included to describe the data. Across the line profile the relative amplitudes and phases of both these sinusoids vary independently.
