Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the study of prosody and intonation. This is due to the fact that these two aspects of speech are known to play a significant role in communication. However, despite the importance of prosody and intonation, there is still lack of agreement on the best
way to study them. This brief review aims to present a critical analysis of some prosody and intonation research methods. The advantages and disadvantages of different research methodologies, approaches, and data analysis methods that have been used in previous research will be discussed. The difficulties and
challenges associated with prosody research will also be highlighted.
Key words: research methods, prosody, intonation
