Intonation - Main Means Of Communication
In this article the author notes that intonation is the main means of communication. It is determined by the peculiarities (situation) of communication, the context of reality or text, and reveals itself in unity with the lexical composition and grammatical structure of the sentence. Intonation plays an important role in people’s communication. Unfortunately intonation isn’t taught at school properly; almost nothing is said about it either in school or in scientific grammars, and there are no manuals on the culture of speech intonation. However, there is neither a mundane nor an artistic word beyond the intonation.
