Summary: good book on stylized spoken intonation
Comment: The book contains several interesting examples of utterances which tend to be spoken with the same intonation in American English. For instance, greetings are usually half-spoken and half-sung on so-mi.

Although none of the writers on stylized spoken intonation attempt to identify the musical pitches which they refer to, a reader with musical training might be able to identify those pitches. If this applies to you, I invite you read the books with ASIN numbers 0804715351, 0253158648, 9173460397, 0313209103, and 3631426542 and see if you agree that the four pitches of American stylized spoken intonation are do, mi, so, and la.
