语调
英语语调主要有降调、升调和平调三大类。 不同的语调可以表示说话人不同的态度和 不同的隐含意思。 英语中同一句话采用不同的语调会产生截 然不同的语意概念。如“Yes” 语调具有强烈的感情色彩，它使语言更富 有表现力。
在连贯的话语中，不可能所有的词都同样重要，必 然有些词较为关键，有些词则相对次要一些。
一般来说，关键词需要重读，这就是句子重音，而 其他词则不必重读。
名词、实义动词、形容词、副词、数词、指示代词、 疑问词和感叹词等一般都重读。
而冠词、介词、连词和一般性的代词则不重读
‘What
‘s the ‘matter? The ‘sweater is ‘beautiful. Your ‘book is on the ‘desk.

意群（sense-group）
意群就是指句子中按意思和语法结构划分出的各 个成分，每一个成分即称为一个意群。同一意群 中的词与词的关系紧密相关，密不可分，否则就 会引起误解。 意群和意群之间可以有一定的停顿，这种停顿和 人们的思维活动是一致的，但一个意群中的各个 单词之间则不可停顿，整个意群读下来就像一个 长单词一样。 注意：意群之间的停顿是根据说话人情况而定， 并非一定要停顿不可。但如有停顿，则必在意群 之间，随意乱停就破坏了语言的节奏。
