ABSTRACT
Intonation is a very complex language unit. It has many functions, and these functions are performed by different
phonetic events:
1. A phonetic event that performs the attitude function.
This function reflects attitude, emotion, and different phonetic events. For example, depending on the context of the speech
and the current situation of the speaker, you can use falling intonation, rising intonation, falling-rising intonation, rising-falling
tones.
2. A phonetic event that performs an accentual function.
This term is used in connection with an accent. Some phonetics also use stress instead of accent. In this function, the
emphasis falls on the last lexical word, and the phonetic event of accentuation and clarification of intonation is performed.
3. A phonetic event that performs a grammatical function.
In this function, tone boundaries are defined by intonation. With the help of this phonetic phenomenon, the listener can
better recognize the grammar and syntactic structure of what is being said.
4. A phonetic event that performs a discourse function.
The main task of this phonetic event is to convey to the listener what "new" information is. An eye-catching tonic accent
is placed on the appropriate syllable of a particular sound.
