7. 1. What is intonation?
Intonation is variation of spoken pitch that is not used to
distinguish words; instead it is used for a range of functions such as
indicating the attitudes and emotions of the speaker, signaling the
difference between statements and questions, and between different
types of question, focusing attention on important elements of the
spoken message and also helping to regulate conversational
interaction. It contrasts with tone, in which pitch variation in some
languages does distinguish words, either lexically or grammatically.
2. When do we use the rising and falling intonation?
Rising intonation when the sentence is answerable by yes or no. It
can express various emotions, such as non-finality, incompleteness,
question, surprise, doubt, hesitation, interest, request and
suggestion, politeness, readiness to continue the conversation, lack
of confidence, and even insecurity. Falling intonation is the most
common type of intonation in English. It is used in statements
(declarative sentences), special questions, commands (imperative
sentences), exclamatory sentences, in the first part of disjunctive
questions and in the last part of alternative questions.
