Unit 15 Intonation of Direct Address

Direct address is placed at the beginning of an utterance to call thelistener’s attention to the subject-matter. It usually forms a separate intonation-group which may take any of the nuclear tones.

e.g.: John, are you ready with your report?

John are you ready with your report?

John, are you ready with your report?

John, are you ready with your report?

John, are you ready with your report?

Direct address placed at the end of an utterance does not serve to attract the listener's attention. It is added simply as an expression of politeness, affection or criticism. It is either unstressed or partially stressed and forms the tail of the tune.

e.g.: -Can you post these letters for me, Mike?

- Of course, Father,

- What's worrying you, Jane?

- Oh, nothing serious, mum.

-You are late again, Tom.

-I'm sorry, sir.

Direct address in the middle of an utterance is pronounced in the same way as a final address.

e.g.: You know, Tom, I’ve never been here before.
