Unit 13. Intonational Peculiarities of Newspaper Style
The primary function of the newspaper style is to impart information. Brief news items and articles are most typical forms of this style. Full compound and complex sentences are characteristic of this style.

Newspaper texts usually fall into clear-cut paragraphs. Intonation as well as other means serve to inform the listener. Newspaper texts are read in a categoric and reserved manner.

1. 
   The division into sense-groups is determined by the contents of the text, its syntactical structure and to a certain extent, the announcer’s manner of reading. The division into shorter sense-groups makes the text weighty and emphatic. The division into longer sense-groups gives the text a somewhat calmer and flowing quality.
   
2. 
   The newspaper texts are characterized by the following tonetic units:
   

1. 
   Falling tones /rather abrupt/;
   
2. 
   Descending /Stepping and Sliding/ Scales. Ascending Scales are mostly
   

used in parenthetic constructions;

3. 
   A Mid Pitch Range;
   

3. 
   Both centralized and decentralized stresses are used in reading newspaper texts.
   
4. 
   The tempo is usually moderate and constant with the exception of parenthetic and absolute constructions, which are as a rule, characterized by a quicker tempo.
   
5. 
   Pauses are mostly logical and obligatory after paragraphs.
