This two-part presentation covers theoretical and practical aspects of doing intonation research and explains the fundamental tenets of the autosegmental-metrical model of intonational phonology (AM for short). In the first presentation,

I will discuss the differences between intonation and F0 and explain how these are handled in AM, one of the most popular (and often misunderstood) models of intonation. I will discuss some challenging features of intonation which, I argue, should drive intonation research and be treated as requirements for a successful model of intonation.

I will show how AM comes close to fitting these essential requirements and will also discuss the shortcomings of both AM and other models. The second presentation will cover the phonetics of intonation and essential practical aspects and pitfalls of doing research on intonation and using AM principles for intonation analysis.
