   • How do speakers use the pitch variation to convey linguistic and pragmatic meaning?
   • The rhythm of speech.
   • How does the interplay of accented, stressed and unstressed syllables functions as a framework onto which the intonation patterns are attached.

   • The rhythm of the speech
     • Pitch, loudness and speed combined with silence (pause).
   • Stress
     • Combination of loudness, pitch and duration.
     • Some languages use stress placement lexically (the difference of meaning depends entirely upon the location of the stress) as Greek; but other languages do not as French.
     • English is an stress language.
       • Stress is an important part of the spoken identify of an English word.
