III. Rules of Syntagmatic Division






Long sentences, simple extended, compound and complex, are sub­divided into intonation – groups (=sense-groups, =syntagms). Intonation-group division depends on the meaning of the sentence, the grammatical structure of the utterance and the style of speech. Thus, an intonation-group is the shortest possible unit of speech from the point of view of meaning, grammatical structure and intonation.

Final intonation-groups are the most important because their intonation patters (=contours) determine the communicative type of the whole sentence.

Non-final sense-groups may have different degrees of semantic completeness, finality and independence.

e.g. Sometimes, | I 'get to 'town by '8. 30.||

Each intonation-group is character­ized by a definite intonation pattern. The number of intonation-groups in the same sentence may be different.

e.g. In June, ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ | July |and August |our 'children 'don't 'go to ˛ school.||

In 'June, 'July, and August| our 'children 'don't 'go to ˛ school.||

The end of each sentence is characterized by a relatively long pause. The pauses between intonation-groups are shorter, they vary in length. There may be no pauses between intonation-groups at all.
