Abstract

Human communication is mostly accomplished through language, which has distinct phonetic features when spoken.  Meaning expression and information transmission in oral conversation rely on prosodic devices in addition to grammatical and lexical elements.  Phonetic components including intonation, pauses, stress, pace, and melody are all considered prosody.  These components guarantee that communication is impactful, expressive, and comprehensible from a semantic and pragmatic standpoint. This article is devoted to the role of prosodic means in discourse.
