“…Also, the way in which the three approaches are employed can vary enormously. For instance, within the attitudinal approach O'Connor and Arnold's [1961/1973] long and unconstrained lists of attitudinal labels for their ten types of tone group contrast sharply with Bodelsen's [1943] strong theoretical claim of a basic attitudinal opposition between rising terminals, which signal 'appeal', and falling terminals which occur by default. Likewise for the grammatical wing, Jones' [1960] straightforward sentence type approach is very different from Halliday's [1967Halliday's [ , 1970 40 grammatical opposition systems by which he in effect argues that intonation grammaticises attitude [Halliday, 1970, pp.…”

There has been little systematic description of the intonation of English accents other than RP and General American. In the first part of this article the characteristics of the tones of Mancunian intonation are described together with a functional categorisation of these tones, in which a dichotomy is proposed between Open and Closed varieties. In the second part the description is related to the current model of intonation known as ToBI and the inadequacies of a representation of Mancunian tones in a standard and a modified form of ToBI are revealed. A more radical modification of the ToBI approach based on tonal features is proposed.
