Unit 9 Falling-Rising Tone

These always fall then rise, the end pitch being lower than the start. Unit FR can occur on a monosyllable or may extend over several syllables. Only the one on which it starts (falls) is important and the rise may begin on a weak syllable. It is used to link one clause to another; make polite contradictions; or (very commonly) to imply something beyond what is actually said.

e.g.: It's not at five. Sorry

________________ ____________

I haven't got a big kitchen. (implies: I've got a small one.)

I haven't got a big kitchen. (implies: But I've got a big bathroom/lounge/bedroom)

The choice of which syllable carries the nuclear tune can have a crucial effect on meaning.

Divided PR is always split across words. Both fall and rise begin on strong syllables, focusing attention on two words instead of one.

The syllables between the fall and the rise are always on a very low level.

e.g.: That's all right.

________________________

Fall-rises are used sometimes to make your reading not so monotonous or to make your conversation livelier. FR is used also in non-final intonation-groups to emphasize the prominent words or for the purpose of contrast to another part of the utterance.
