Re: RT list:

Dear All,

is there someone who has access to computers in phonetics department who
could send me a file of the intonation contour relative to Barack Obama's
speech (South carolina victory speech). The speech is on internet.

I would also need indications of loudness and slower speech.

In return, I will give detailed professional comments on a paper / thesis
chapter in pragmatics of language/ philosophy of language.

I have my own transcription of Obama's speech (revised by Ira Noveck).
