Unit 8 Rising Tone

Low Rise starting from a low pitch and moving upwards, implies a neutral polite attitude in Yes/No - questions (it sounds friendly in Wh–questions, greetings). LR is used for completed utterances, particularly Yes/No-questions and many tag-questions, and also for incomplete utterances, such as linking items in a list.

e.g.: Can you spell it? B E S T.

__________________ __________________

High Rise is not so common and useful as Low Rise. HR goes from mid to high pitch in a speaker's voice range and is used in emotional conversation, mainly in echo-questions very often expressing surprise.

e.g.: Let's meet at ten. - At ten?
