EpV Listening for Meaning - Rank: pitch levels and contours

Episode V in a series of lectures on intonation in English, as 'multimodal textbook', aimed at postgraduate researchers and academic educators. In this 'chapter', I introduce another important concept from SFL theory, rank, which is concerned with the hierarchic scale of units. I enter this topic via a discussion of the long-running debate in this field over whether intonation consists of a series of pitch levels or contours.
