INTONATION
Intonation in linguistics is used primarily to distinguish a statement from a question or for
more emphasis on what the speaker wants to say
...
In the question,
“Where have you been?”, a person might put a stress in the place by having the rising intonation
on the word “where” or if trying to put more emphasis on the person being asked “you” should
be pronounced in a rising tone
...
To use intonation on the first syllable
will fall into nouns, while on the other hand intonation on second syllable will fall into the verbs
...
It always show how one can do
different intonations like the rising and falling on sentences to be easily understood by other
people
...
There are too many English words in the dictionary and
the tone of the voice in saying words do matter to differentiate immediately the meaning
...
I assume that with the use of intonation, categorizing words is easier, and it shows what
kind of sentence you are dealing with
...
For a statement the intonation should be falling or fading at
the end, but if it asks a question the intonation should be high or rising
...
A speaker might not get the meaning across if he or she doesn’t make use of the proper
stress in words
