Extended data:

Intonation, that is, the tone of speech, is the preparation and change of pitch in sentences. No language in the world is monosyllabic. Take English as an example. There are five basic tones in English: rising tone (↗), falling tone (↙), rising tone (∧), falling tone (∨) and flat tone (→).

A sentence has not only lexical meaning, but also intonation meaning. Lexical meaning is the meaning of words used in words, while intonation meaning is the attitude or tone expressed by the speaker in intonation. The lexical meaning of a sentence plus the intonation meaning is the complete meaning. The same sentence, with different intonation, will have different meanings, sometimes even thousands of miles apart. Please look at the following example:

Joan, can you bring me the newspaper?

Excuse me? Say "I'm sorry" in a rising tone, which means "I didn't hear you." . Would you please say that again? "

Let's look at the next sentence:

Jane, can you bring me the newspaper?

B: Sorry. Saying "I'm sorry" in a falling tone obviously means refusing to help or being helpless.

Kenneth. Parker, a famous linguist, believes that the absolute height of a syllable is not important, but the relative height of one syllable relative to another is very important.

English has four levels to distinguish meaning;

1) is super high, that is, two levels higher than the normal tone, and is often used when feelings are particularly exciting or surprising.

2) High tone, that is, one level higher than normal tone, is generally used for stressed words in sentences.

3) mid, the normal height of the speaker's voice.

4) Low, that is, one level lower than the normal tone.
