CONCEPT NOTES:** Intonation describes how the voice rises and falls in speech. The three main patterns of intonation in English are: falling intonation, rising intonation and fall-rise intonation. Falling intonation ------------------ Falling intonation describes how the voice falls on the final stressed syllable of a phrase or a group of words. A falling intonation is very common in *wh*-questions. *Where's the nearest p*↘*ost-office?* *What time does the film f*↘*inish?* We also use falling intonation when we say something definite, or when we want to be very clear about something: *I think we are completely l*↘*ost.* *OK, here's the magaz*↘*ine you wanted.* Rising intonation ----------------- Rising intonation describes how the voice rises at the end of a sentence. Rising intonation is common in *yes-no* questions: *I hear the Health Centre is expanding. So, is that the new d*↗*octor?* *Are you th*↗*irsty?* Fall-rise intonation -------------------- Fall-rise intonation describes how the voice falls and then rises. We use fall-rise intonation at the end of statements when we want to say that we are not sure, or when we may have more to add: *I do*↘*n't support any football team at the m*↘*om*↗*ent.* (but I may change my mind in future). *It rained every day in the firs*↘*t w*↗*eek.* (but things improved after that). We use fall-rise intonation with questions, especially when we request information or invite somebody to do or to have something. The intonation pattern makes the questions sound more polite: CCS Quarter 2 Week 4 Compiler **1** *Is this your cam*↘*er*↗*a?* *Would you like another co*↘*ff*↗*ee?* **Different functions of intonation in English** There are quite a few theories that attempt to explain what intonation does and how it is used in English. Let us take a look at two of its main functions: *Attitudinal* ------------- In many spoken languages around the world -- but especially in British English -- it is easy for the listener to understand the speaker\'s attitude: boredom, interest, surprise, anger, appreciation, happiness, and so on, are often evident in their intonation. For instance, a server at a restaurant asks 'How's the chocolate muffin, madam?' and you reply 'mMMmmmm' with the intonation rising in the middle and falling towards the end. The server nods with a smile. Why? Because you have just expressed your appreciation for the item through the music of your voice -- and without so much as a single (ordinarily meaningful) word. Another instance of a different type would be your intonation on receiving a surprise birthday cake at your work. 'Did you get that for me?' you might say -- your rising intonation, particularly on 'me' at the end, expressing surprise and delight. The feeling of boredom or indifference, on the other hand, might be expressed with a flat tone, (think of a robot). Compare the \'thank you\' uttered to the mailman delivering a utility bill (flat) and the 'thank you!' said when someone helps you mend a flat tyre on the side of a road (expressive, heartfelt). We often express gratitude and other emotions as much by our use of intonation as by the use of specific words. *Grammatical* ------------- There are some intonation patterns in English, which, for the most part, correspond to the use of particular grammar structures. The most common example is in the use of [**wh-questions**](http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/wh-questions) (questions beginning with \'who\', \'what\', \'why\', \'where\', \'when\', \'which\', and \'how\'), which usually have a falling intonation. In a conversation with a new classmate, the following questions would sound most natural with falling intonation: \'What\'s your name?\', \'Where are you from?\', \'Why did you choose this school?\', \'How long will you study here?\'. like the teacher?\', \'Will you come back tomorrow?\'. **Ways to improve your intonation** The best way to improve your intonation is simply to become more aware of it. By listening carefully to a recorded conversation (YouTube is a good place to start), you will begin [noticing](http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/noticing) how other speakers use intonation to express themselves. Another idea is to record your own voice. These days, even the simplest mobile phones are equipped with a voice recorder. It is always fascinating (though sometimes unbearable) to listen to one\'s own voice because it sounds so different to what we expect! Try recording a dialogue with a friend, (you could use a script from a course book or scene from a film). Now listen to your intonation. Does it sound natural? Does it express your attitude in the way you hoped? With a recording, you can always rewind, listen again and try a new version. Recordings are an excellent way to keep track of your progress. They clearly show how you have improved over time. **Useful resources for improving your intonation at home** Most English course books provide some intonation practice. A good read is the American Accent Training written by Ann Cook. And for more advanced students, you may take IELTS(International English Language Testing System) or TOEFL(the Test of English as a Foreign Language). You are also more likely to find authentic and interesting examples of spoken English on the internet. YouTube is another fantastic resource. If, like me, you are a TV series aficionado, and want to know even more about your favourite characters on the small screen, look for short interview clips with the actors who play them. Listen to how they respond to humorous questions, serious topics and uncomfortable issues. Notice how the intonation in the voice changes with the change in topic. **You are probably using intonation correctly a lot of the time** As we have seen, intonation is an important aspect of pronunciation, but it is worth remembering that you are probably using it correctly much of the time. Even if your intonation sounds robotic, like the cab driver we met earlier, it is unlikely to be causing a breakdown in communication. But if you want to be more confident about your intonation in English, and especially if you want to use it with precision and subtlety, then it is certainly worth spending time noticing how others use it, imitating their use, and listening to a recording of your own voice.
