Unit 14 Intonation of Reporting Phrases

Intonation of Reporting Phrases before Direct Speech

Reporting phrases (or the author's words) are phrases such as «he asked», «she said» and the like, used in conversation, in novels at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the quoted (direct) speech.

Initial reporting phrases generally form separate intonation-groups and are widely used with LR and Mid-level nuclear tones The Falling and Falling-Rising nuclear tones are also possible.

e.g.: She said, "I’m sorry".

She said, "I’m sorry".

He repeated his question, "Who told you that?"

In a final position or in the middle the reporting phrase forms an unstressed or half-stressed tail of the tune of the quoted speech.

e.g.: "I'm not ready", he said.

"Are you in a hurry?" she asked.

When the reporting phrase is rather long, it may form a separate intonationgroup which is pronounced with the same nuclear tone as the preceding intonation-group of the quoted speech.

e.g.: “I don’t know” one of the youngest boys said.
