TOPIC: Introduction to Intonation Pattern
Meaning of Intonation
Intonation means the variation of the level of the voice in a continuous speech. When English is spoken, the level of the voice (otherwise called pitch) goes up or down, and the different notes of the voice combine to make tones. The changes in pitch are important because if there are no such changes, the speech would sound monotonous or even meaningless.
Intonation is used meaningfully in all languages but while it is used to distinguish words of the same spelling in many Nigerian languages, it is used in English to give special meaning to an utterance. The utterance could be a word, a phrase or a sentence.
