Read the phonological rule regarding intonation contours in complex speech structures and complete the passage below. Which intonation tunes correctly fill the blanks?
Cevap:In Received Pronunciation (RP), an introductory adverbial clause expressing incompleteness, such as 'As soon as the meeting ends,', typically takes a 【rising】 tune, whereas the final choice in an alternative question, such as 'Would you like tea, coffee, or juice?', takes a 【falling】 tune.
Cevap
The first blank requires 'rising' (or 'rising tune') and the second blank requires 'falling' (or 'falling tune').
In standard Received Pronunciation (RP), introductory subordinate clauses (non-final clauses) carry a rising tune to show that the speaker has not completed their thought. In contrast, alternative questions use a rising tune for preliminary choices and conclude with a falling tune on the final alternative to signal completeness.
