Prosody and intonation

Prosody and intonation are not co-extensive.

-Pitch related:Melody, since horizontal or no simultaneous notes (cf. harmonic = simultaneous)
--interval (two notes); scale (major/minor--the root note)
- accentuation (cf. pitch accent of Bolinger, pierrehumbert)
- temporal: compression of anacrusis; pre-boundary lengthening; lexical stress in English
