Abstract

This paper provides a eomparison of the inventories of non-melodic intonational morphemes of English and Croatian within the framework of the bitonal generative compositional model. lt is shown that the two languages have the same bitonal inventory of non-melodic tones, but English uses H non-melodic tones more frequently than Croatian does. lt is suggested that Croatian makes up« for these H tones by resorting more often to some alternative means of expression.
