Intonation
Unit 9. Intonation. The Components of Intonation
Intonation may be defined as such a unity of speech melody, sentence–stress (accent), voice quality (timbre) and speech tempo which enables the speaker to adequately communicate in speech his thoughts, will, emotions and attitude towards reality and the contents of the utterance.
Speech melody, or the pitch component of intonation, is the variation in the pitch of the voice which takes place when voiced sounds, especially vowels and sonorants, are pronounced in connected speech. The pitch of speech sounds is produced by the vibrations of the vocal cords.
