Rise-Fall particularly shows:

1 That the speaker is greatly impressed favorably or unfavorably (according to the context).

e.g.: He shot an elephant. - Did he?

What do you think of my roses? - Aren't they lovely?

For this purpose RF is often used in echoing.

e.g.: I’ve written all my letters. - All of them?

2 The speaker often expresses a quizzical feeling

e.g.: I'll never talk to him again. - Won't you?

Sometimes the speaker sounds mocking or impatient.

e.g.: Charles was rather a bore tonight. - Isn't he always,

3 This tone may give an utterance a note of challenge or antagonism.

e.g.: Who on earth will do it? - We'll do.
