Lesson 2: Expressive Intonation (C1) Welcome to your advanced phonetics and oral production framework. At an advanced level, the exact same words can mean completely different things based on how you shift your pitch, adjust your tone, and stretch your syllables. Core Intonation Vectors Covered: Sarcasm & Irony: Flat, prolonged pitch patterns (e.g., "Oh, great", "Brilliant idea"). Doubt & Hesitation: Fall-Rise pitch modulations (e.g., "I think so...", "It's... okay"). Contrastive Stress: Shifting emphasis to modify underlying subtext (e.g., "I didn't say that").
