So, it is not enough to know how a sound is pronounced, because its
pronunciation can change when it occurs in different contexts.
Intonation can be compared to a pointer. Instead of using a finger to do the
pointing, speakers use their voices to draw attention to important words.
For example:
Your papers should be typed and double-spaced.
They should not be longer than 5 pages. In speech, we use the pitch of our
voice to show the emphasis. The rises and falls in pitch when we speak are
characteristics of into nation Word stress is very important in a sentence. For
example, if you say “you ‘can come with us”, the hearer might think you are
saying “ you can’t come with us” , because usually can is not stressed and the
listener does not expect it to be stressed, so he is likely to understand it as can’t .
Fact 2
. Pronunciation is an integral part of language learning. As the scope of
pronunciation is much broader than an inventory and description of sounds, the
learner needs to learn the rhythm and intonation for communicative purposes.
The importance of pronunciation takes on even greater significance when we
understand the connection between pronunciation and other aspects of language
use.
