广东省高考英语听说模仿朗读-语调

语调(Intonation)一、英语的语调的三种作用：A.句法作用：句法上不同类型的句子（如陈述句和一般疑问句）各有不同的语调。

B.表意作用：同一个句子可以通过不同的语调手段来表示不同的强调或突出部分，如：Theyareourteachers.Hecouldn’tfindhisbag.C.表示感情态度的作用：有时语调也表示说话人的感情态度,如:Marywasalwayslate.二、英语的语调的四种主要调型英语的语调的四种主要调型：升调、降调、降升调、升降调，其中最主要的是降调和升调。

.则是“再会！”(上午分别时说）。四、语调运用一般来说，陈述句、特殊疑问句、祈使句、感叹句读降调；一般疑问句读升调；反意疑问句往往读降升调,如:Youarea↘student,aren’t↗you?根据不同语气也可读降降调。选择疑问句常读升降调，如：Doyoustudy↗Englishor↘French?并列句常读升降调，如：Theseare↗mine,andthoseare↘yours.

复合句也常读升降调,仅以含状语从句的复合句为例：当状语从句在主句之前时，通常读升降调,如:Whenhewas↗18,hejoinedthe↘army.而当状语从句在主句之后时,则通常读降降调，如：

I’ll
