4. Информационный блок.

Intonation of Conversational Formulas.

Conversational formulas are: Greetings, Farewells, Apologies and Gratitudes.

Purpose: they help to establish or to keep up the contact between the speaker and the listener.

According to the degree of politeness expressed, it is possible to divide CF into 3 groups:

• normal (neutral);

• friendly (very polite, warm, lively);

• casual (perfunctory).

Friendly CF are pronounced with the Falling-Rising nuclear tone.

e.g. ‵Thanks a ‚lot. Good-‵ˊbye. I’m ^↘really ^↘very ‵ˊsorry.

Casual CF are pronounced with the Low Rising nuclear tone preceded by a LOW PRENUCLEAR PART!

e.g. ˌNot at ‚all. ‚Sorry. That’s all ‚right.

Such phrases are used between people on familiar terms.

Normal

• Greetings, Gratitudes and Apologies are pronounced with the Falling nuclear tone.

e.g. I’m ˈsorry I’m ‵late. ˈHow do you ‵do. ˈGood ‵morning.

• Farewells are pronounced with the Low Rising nuclear tone preceded by a HIGH PRENUCLEAR PART!

e.g. ¯Good-‚bye. ˈSo ‚long.

********************

¯Ha‚llo(informal greeting) Ex‵ˊcuse me. ˊPardon (used interrogatively)
