The Rising-Falling Tone-Pattern Stepping/High Head + Rise-Fall Contour The rising-falling tone has such a strong modal-attitudinal colouring that the overall meaning of an utterance (intonation-group) does not depend noticeably on the type of head with which the given tone is combined. However, the rising-falling contours with different kinds of head will vary in the degree of expressiveness. The contour with the Stepping/High Head, clearly, is the most ‘neutral’ one (if such a term is at all appropriate with reference to a falling-rising tune). Falling-rising tunes with this kind of head have practically the same meaning as those without a head. As will be seen from the contour functions the connotations imparted by the rising-falling pattern are practically independent of the communicative type of an utterance. The exact 12 connotation will only emerge from the lexical content and the context in which the utterance is used. жүктеу/скачать 0,6 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
