What's an Intonation Rising?
- Increasing intonation explains when our pitch increases and proceeds to ascend from the stressed syllable of the last term of the sentence's material. Depending on the context and the emotion or attitude that you are trying to express with your speech, increasing intonation may begin earlier in the sentence and then climb to the end.
