4. Информационный блок.

Prosodic Co-Ordination and Prosodic Subordination

The degree of prominence of each of the intonation-groups depends on the semantic relations between the adjacent parts of an utterance. These may be classified into relations of:

a) equality,

b) inequality

c) mutual dependence.

The first type implies a relatively equal degree of semantic importance of the adjacent parts which is often associated with their relative semantic independence. It means that each of them can exist separately.Such tone-sequences can be called coordinative.

eg. It is 'very ^vgenerous of you, | but you 'must be ^vcareful.

The second type means a kind of relationship where one of the two parts is semantically dependent, in other words: it requires either an obligatory continuation or a preceding part containing more important information. These are subordinative tone-sequences.

eg. I shall 'have to 'take `these, | if there is no ˏchoice.

Co-ordinative and subordinative tone-sequences often correlate with grammatical co­ordination and subordination. At the same time semantic relations between the parts of an utterance in oral speech are not strictly bound to the grammatical structure. Thus, co-ordinative relations may often be observed in complex sentences, whereas parts of a compound sentence may sound as unequal in their semantic weight.

The third type - relations of mutual dependence- is intermediate between the first and the second. Both groups are equally important as far as the information message is concerned, yet neither of them can be isolated. Such utterances are frequently characterized by contrastive comparison and parallelism of the lexical and syntactical structure of the adjacent groups, which are symmetrically balanced as a result,

eg. Where there is a ´wish | there is a ^`way.

Since the semantic relations between the parts of a spoken utterance are always reflected in its intonation (prosody), it is possible to identify the same types of prosodic relations between the adjacent intonation-groups.
