more informative.
The fall-rise starts with a fall at a high pitch and is
immediately followed by a low rise. The stress dies away during
the initial fall. “Fall-rise is an implicatory tone. It always gives the
impression that something has been left unsaid, and that the
speaker expects his listener to imagine the extra meaning” (R.
Kingdon) (implicatory mean something not expressed but meant;
hinting at smth.).
This tone is used in statements and requests, but very rarely
in questions.
The rise-fall starts in the middle of the voice range, rises to
a very high pitch and then falls to a very low pitch. In a word of
one syllable both rise and fall occur in one syllable: ^ No! ^
Thanks! ^ None! In a two-syllable word the first stressed syllable
is pronounced with a high rise, and the unstressed one – on a very
low pitch:
