Intonation in English

Loud music changes a person rather than soft and meaningful music. We let the type of music we listen to describe our personalities and how we feel. Throughout the poem the speaker shows how the loud music affects him and how he is depressed. Our music shows our mood and type of person we are, whether it’s country, rap, rock, hip hop, or any other type of genre. It tells people what kind of person we are before they get to know

The next element in the rhetorical situation is pathos. Pathos is defined as connecting the author and the reader using emotion. Pathos is more reader dependent than the other elements. Pathos helps the writer know to know their audience and who they are intending to write for. Connecting to the audience using pathos is a strong way to get the support of the reader. The audience needs to be moved by what they’re reading. Without pathos, the writer won’t be able to properly connect to their audience.

When writing about the theme, the writer should keep in mind that he/she will write an analysis of a theme that appears in either a text or movie that argues a specific point. The writer's aim in this type of essay is to pick a theme from a text or movie and write about what that theme does for the story or what that theme makes the reader realize about that story and/or life itself. The best way to come up with such an

With the analysis of rhetorical strategies underway, I would like to discuss the presence of pathos in the speech. Sanger was a very passionate writer, and this allowed her to be absorbed into the paper. I noticed that, in Sanger’s speech, there were many emotionally loaded words. For example:

The individual may also come from a culture where they speak loudly or speak quickly, this can be taken in consideration. If English is not their first language, then they may also have difficulties in expressing themselves.

In Affect - A basic Summary of approaches, Andrew Murphie puts forth thought on the concept of affect and how it directly correlates with the language. Affect is described as what occurs right before one becomes aware of how they are feeling, and thus turning that feeling into an emotion. That being true, affect is moment to moment and is constantly changing, for emotion is continually being altered in order for one to be fully present in every point in time. Affect comes and goes instantaneously, for at the instant when it comes, one makes an effort to put affect into words, turning the affect into a feeling or emotion and it is gone. Affect cannot be put into language, but it is always something that will be with one. That being said, one cannot describe one’s affect to another. Though, by trying to talk about one’s affect, one must speak about the instant that created said affect, and by expressing one’s thoughts about their moment to moment experience, one can try to evoke a similar experience in another’s mind.

A major tone that is present throughout most of the poem is a reminiscent tone. The speaker begins the poem by stating “The first time I walked with a girl, I was twelve…” It is easy to notice that the speaker is indulging in past events. The speaker also tells his story in past tense. The speaker describes the little details that bring him joy while reminiscing. He states that the girl’s face was “...bright with rouge.” and there was “...Light in her eyes, a smile starting at the corners of her mouth.” The speaker is reminiscing and mentions the details so he can indulge in past events wholly. There is shift in tone present when it becomes a conflicted tone. This occurs when the girl choses a chocolate that costs a dime, but the boy only carries a dime and two oranges. When the speaker realizes the fact that he will not be able to play for the chocolate he states that he “...didn’t say anything.” He took the nickel and an orange and “...and set them quietly on the counter.” He then looks up at the sales lady “...knowing very well what it was about.” The speaker is so uncomfortable at this point he does not even talk. He is conflicted because if he can not buy his girl the chocolate, he will not be able to make her happy, and making her happy is his ultimate

Our appearance is usually all that it takes for people to have a clear assumption of us all assuming that we speak the same language but when one opens their speak are perception of them changes automatically if they do not speak just like us whether it be good or bad. In “Mother Tongue”, Amy Tan viewing were affected by her mother’s english, Tan realizes the she has forgotten the true purpose of English - to understands one true personality. Tan confess how “[She] was ashamed of her mother’s english” (9). Like everyone else, Tan finds herself belittle her mother thoughts just because she simply cannot express a perfect sentence in english. However, She comes to realizes that the quality of our expression shares nothing with the quality of our thoughts. Tan affirms this by her mother's tongue “ was the language that helped shape the way [she] saw things, expressed things, made sense of things of the world” (7), which helps with the powers of language. We become accustomed to the language we hear everyday that it affects our thoughts and beliefs, which in end up affecting the

Evoking an emotional response from the listeners of the orator can be a very convincing technique. This method is known as pathos. The usage of pathos is plentiful in both

Pathos appeals to the emotions and the sympathetic imagination, as well as to beliefs and values. Pathos can also be thought of as the role of the audience in the argument. People often shy away from using emotion in public speaking, thinking that it's inappropriate or unprofessional. Nothing could be further from the truth!

What kind of adjectives describe tone?: There are a wide variety of adjectives that define an author’s tone. Some examples of adjectives that describe tones are energetic, bitter, sarcastic, and playful.

When his request was denied, the customer became defensive saying he was not drunk. He refused the alternative non-alcoholic drinks offered by the bartender and became instantly aggressive, yelling and abusing the bartender. One could read the evidence of paralanguage in the customer’s voice. ‘Paralanguage is the vocal (but nonverbal) dimension of speech.

A recent phonological development in Australian English displays a difference between younger and older generations through the High Rising Terminal (HRT) which is a rising intonation contour on declarative clauses. The intonation pattern is considered a distinctive feature of Australian English and shows how speakers carry themselves as a person. HRT is used primarily by the younger demographics in Australia, in particular female speakers and has been criticised often, deeming it as a marker of insecurity. However as researchers now point out,

It includes body movements and gestures, posture, muscle tension, eye contact, skin colouring (flushed red), even people's breathing rate and sweat. Additionally, the tone of voice, the rate of speech and the pitch of the voice all add to the words that are being used.
