Concept:Intonation refers to the pattern of pitch changes (rise and fall) in spoken language.
Explanation:The rise and fall of the voice while speaking is called intonation.
It is the melody or musical quality of speech.
When the pitch goes up, it is rising intonation.
When the pitch goes down, it is falling intonation.
Intonation helps express feelings, questions, and emphasis.
Other features like stress, rhythm, and pronunciation are different from intonation.
Stress focuses on which syllable is louder, not on pitch movement.
Pronunciation is about how sounds or words are said.
Therefore, the rise and fall of tone specifically describes intonation.
