Sequence of Tones

The Simple Sentence. Intonation of Adverbials


Model: ˏGenerally. | I come 'home ˎearly.

>Generally. | I come 'home ˎearly.

He is at ˎhome on Sunday.

Simple sentences with adverbial phrases at the beginning are usually divided into two intonation - groups.

The non-final intonation-group is usually pronounced with the low – rising or mid – level tone.
e.g. At two o’ˏclock | we shall have ˎdinner.

At two o’>clock | we shall have ˎdinner.

Adverbial phrases at the end of sentences do not form separate intonation-groups, as a rule, and often remain unstressed.



e.g. We are going ˎout tonight.
