SUPRA-SEGMENTAL POWER

The Intonator is a cyborg sent back in time to save the human race from monotonal domination. He is single minded and emotionless in purpose...

 

In the real future he will be popularly elected to public office despite rampant accusations of professional misconduct and an unconvincing, emotionless apology.

 

Catch Phrase: I'll be back.

 

ACTUAL DEFINITION

Intonation refers to the manner in which the fundamental frequency changes from syllable to syllable. This is affected by the stress pattern of an utterance, tongue position of a vowel, and the speaker’s emotional state.

 

EXAMPLE

a) “I am going to pass this class.”

b) “I am going to pass this class?”
