    Prosodic features (also known as suprasegmental) are
    features that appear when we put sounds together in
    connected speech. It is as important to learn prosodic
    features as successful communication depends as much
    on intonation, stress and rhythm as on the correct
    pronunciation of sounds.

    Examples: intonation, stress, rhythm

    What is
    INTONATION?
    What is INTONATION?
    is the rising or falling pitch of the voice when somebody says a
    word or syllable, or the rising and falling pattern of speech
    generally circumflex is the combination of rising and falling
    intonation.

    how we say things, rather than what we say. Without


    intonation, it's impossible to understand the expressions and
    thoughts that go with words.

    Awareness of intonation aids communication. Incorrect intonation


    can result in misunderstandings, speakers losing interest or even
    taking offense.
    Intonation, in phonetics:
    the melodic pattern of an utterance.
    primarily a matter of variation in the pitch
    level of the voice (see also tone), but in
    such languages as English, stress and
    rhythm are also involved.
    conveys differences of expressive
    meaning (e.g., surprise, anger, wariness).
    The way we use pitch, stress
    and emphasis on specific
    words can completely
    change the meaning of a
    sentence.

    Mommy, I LOVE YOU!- importance loving the person
    Mommy, I LOVE YOU! - loving a person- no other person
