3. Intonation of direct address

Initial Direct Address

Direct Address is placed at the beginning of an utterance when the speaker wants to call his listener's attention to the subject- matter or to the fact that the remark concerns him (the listener) personally. It usually forms a separate intonation-group which may be pronounced with any of the nuclear tones. The choice of the tone does not depend on the communicative type of the utterance but is determined by the speaker's attitude to the situation.

The Falling tone on a Direct Address shows the speaker's serious attitude to what he is going to say:

'John, I 'want you to 'tell me what 'happened.

This pattern, therefore, is suitable in addressing an audience at the beginning of a format speech:

'Ladies and 'Gentlemen, | let me....

The Falling-Rising tone is normally used on an initial Direct Address in informal conversation to convey the speaker's warm and friendly attitude:

"Kitty, I 'why -aren't you 'eating ,anything?

"Harry, I 'will you "help me with the /Vacuum-'cleaner?

This tone may sometimes suggest a warning or a wish to single out the person named from a number of others:

"Caroline, | 'join your 'younger sister in the Mining-room. 'Let "Mike 'do his 'homework a'lone.

Direct Address at the beginning of an informal speech can also be pronounced with a Low Rising tone:

My ,friends, 11 am 'happy to meet you here to,night.

Final and Medial Direct Address

Direct Address placed at the end of an utterance does not serve to attract the listener's attention. It is added simply as an expression of politeness, affection or criticism. It is, therefore, either unstressed or only partially stressed and forms the tail of a tune:

  1. — Can you 'post these ,letters forme, 'Brian?

  • Of'course, .father.

    1. — 'What's'worrying you, .Catherine?

  • Oh, nothing "serious, 'mum.

  1. — " You are 'late a'gain, .Mark.

  • I am "sorry, 'sir.

Final Direct Address may become part of a Falling- Rising Divided nucleus. When this intonation pattern is used the utterance sounds warmer and the address is more prominent.

You 'look 'very 'tired, ,Jane. t ' /
