  3. TYPES OF TONES (2). TYPES OF HEADS.

a) The Fall ()

Speakers use falling tones in part of utterances which contain information they think is new for their hearer - when they are telling them something they don't already know. It may be information in response to a question, e.g. Gill: ... we could give her a book.

Work with the "Uniton". On the screen you'll see the diagram of this part of the utterance (fundamental frequency traces). Copy it out into your exercise books.

Or it may be information the speakers present as new, something they want their hearers to know about or consider, e.g. Dave: What shall we give Claire? On the screen of the "Uniton" you'll see the diagram of this part of the utterance Copy it out.

b) The Fall-Rise ()

Speakers use fall-rise tones in parts of utterances which contain ideas they think their hearers already know about or have experience of. They refer to something shared by themselves and the hearers at that point in the conversation. It may be something they both know about it. e.g. Gill: Well as she likes reading... On the screen of a "Uniton" you'll see the diagram of these parts of the utterance. Copy it out. It also may be something which has lust been started or implied in the conversation. Pay attention to the evidence here that the tone begins on the tonic syllable.
