This study investigated the explanations of "accent," "intonation," and "prominence" in the introductions for students in popular Japanese textbooks. The results show that; 1) there is very little explanation of pronunciation beyond the word level, e.g. of such areas as "accentuation in connected speech," "intonation," and "prominence;" 2) all textbooks mention "accent," but mostly to distinguish the meanings of words which are homonyms; and 3) there exists quite a range in the number of intonation patterns described, from 2 to 8.
