Static (level) tones
Static (level) tones are produced by keeping the vocal cords at a constant tension thus producing a
tone of unvarying pitch. According to the actual height within the speaker’s voice range static tones
may be
high,
mid ad
low.
Static tones give prominence to words. In general, the degree of prominence is proportional to the
pitch-height of the static tone: the higher varieties are usually associated with greater prominence
and, consequently, greater semantic importance.
