Часть IV
Интонация обращений
Если прямое обращение стоит в начале фразы, оно образует самостоятельную интонационную группу и произносится с нисходящим кинетическим тоном.
Такое обращение звучит значимо и серьезно.
e.g. `Monica, | `help me, please.
`Children, | ˈkeep `silence.
В непринужденной обстановке обращение может произноситься с нисходяще-восходящим кинетическим тоном (неразделенный вариант). Такой тон выражает теплое, дружеское отношение говорящего. Иногда это может быть предупреждение или необходимость выделить какого-либо конкретного человека из толпы.
e.g. ˇ Mommy, | ˈgive me some `apple pie, please.
Если обращение стоит в середине или в конце фразы, то оно, обычно, является неударным или частично ударным и произносится на низком уровне диапазона голоса.
e.g. I ` say, ˌPeter,≀ ˈgive him a `hand. He `needs it.
`Buy it, ˌAnn. It’s `fine.
