Intonation
The vibration of vocal cords is very
significant in speech. When they are kept loosely together, they vibrate and
that the vibration produces a musical not called voice. The rate of vibration
is called frequency of vibration. This decides the pitch of the voice. In this ways, the
patterns of vibration of the pitch of the voice constitute the intonation of a
language. According to Daniel Jones, The
pitch of the voice with
which a voiced sound is
produced is called intonation.

level, high or low. Such way of variation in pitch from one part of an
utterance to another is intonation.

on which a pitch change takes place is marked with one of the following signs
depending upon the type of pitch change:
