Phonology is the study, science, analysis, and classification of the physical properties of sounds. Intonation: Intonation is generally considered to be the variation in volume and pitch in a whole sentence, whereas stress is more concerned with individual words. Intonation carries the message in a sentence. It is particularly important in questioning, agreeing or disagreeing, or confirming statements. Also concerning one's feelings, emotions, etc. - With the falling intonation you are also indicating that you have finished what you want to say. - The second common intonation pattern is the fall/rise pattern. This indicates surprise and often disagreement, but above all indicates that the speaker wants the person to whom he's speaking to respond or confirm. - Third, we can have a kind of level intonation which is basically flat, which often indicates that the speaker doesn't really have that much to say, and perhaps doesn't want to communicate. Stress: The strong part is the stressed word, or word that bears the principal emphasis in the sentence. There are two very simple rules about word stress to start: 1. One word has only one stress, and can't have two stresses. There can be a ?secondary? stress in some words, but a secondary stress is much smaller than the main (primary) stress, and is only used in longer words. 2. We can only stress syllables, not individual vowels or consonants.
