I read a book explaining some of the aspects of Trinidadian speach where the author noted that, for instance, pronouncing father (high pitch-low pitch) and father (low pitch-high pitch) results in different meanings. One would be used to signify a position in a religious institution while the other somebody's parent. I am curious about the various patternings and manifestations of these kind of phenomena in the creole dialects found throughout the caribbean, and also I am wondering how it might be represented symbolically/orthographically for non-native speakers.
