Abstract
The paper proposes a cognitive view on intonational contours aiming to describe their partitions in terms of elementary cognitive categories related to a generic information packaging (IPk) mechanism. We formulate the hypothesis that IPk structures pack auditory information items at the cortical level into relations that are marked at the utterance level by prosodic phrases. An IPk model based on this hypothesis is used in the paper for describing two pairs of contours that are presented in [1] as problematic for a categorical phonological description. The paper proposes a cognitive description of the respective contours after their partitioning into hierarchies of nested IPk units. In this view phonological events become marks of functional constituents at the cognitive level and the semantic differences between contours are reflected by their structural cognitive differences.
