12、降調(diào)（）、降升調(diào)（）以及平調(diào)（）。一句話除了詞匯意義（lexical meaning）還有語調(diào)意義（intonation meaning）。所謂詞匯意義就是話中所用詞的意義，而語調(diào)意義就是說話人用語調(diào)所表示的態(tài)度或口氣。一句話的詞匯意義加上語調(diào)意義才算是完全的意義。同樣的句子，語調(diào)不同，意思就會不同，有時甚至會相差千里。請看下例:  1）A:Jean，can you bring me the newspaper？   B:Sorry？（?）  Jean用升調(diào)說“Sorry”，其意思是“I didnt hear youCould you say that again

13、，please？”  我們再看下句:  2）A:Jean，can you bring me the newspaper？  B:Sorry（?）  在對話2）中，Jean用降調(diào)說“Sorry”，顯然其意思是拒絕幫助或無能為力。  美國著名語言學(xué)家Kenneth LPike認為:  一個音節(jié)的絕對調(diào)高是不重要的，而一個音節(jié)與另外一個的相對高度才是非常重要的。  英語有四級能區(qū)別意義的調(diào)高:  1）特高調(diào)（extra high），即比正常的聲調(diào)高兩級，常在感情特別激動或驚訝時使用。  2）高調(diào)（high），即比正常的聲調(diào)高一級，一般用于語句中關(guān)鍵性的重讀詞。 &
