The dissertation consists of five chapters (Preliminary Considerations; The Status of Intonation in a Level Approach in the Organization of Language; Introduction to Typology and Intonational Analysis, The Case for Case … of Intonation. Delicacy Increased. Content Typology; Intonational Typology and Content Typology Applied to (Translated ) Literary Texts), Conclusion and Bibliography. The objective is to analyze the role of intonation from a purely linguistic point of view by including for the first time not only diachronic but also synchronic evidence. The main thesis is that intonation, while relying on “the hidden memory of language”, manifests purely grammatical categories of the most basic type, the latter being exponents of deep semantic relations, in that case deep case exponents. They are explicitly manifested specifically in the two-case nominative and ergative languages. From the casual point of view it is illustrated that intonation functions as case morpheme in the two-case type of languages, thus realizing its primordial “primitive dance” initially set in it. The work also illustrates how the phenomenon can be viewed within the content typology framework. Due to the fact that intonation exists as substance in the spoken medium of language, from a historical point of view and in the relatively recent past the latter was an object strictly of synchronic research, and with the advent of electronics it has become ever more interdisciplinary.
