6. PHONETIC EXPRESSIVE MEANS AND STYLISTIC DEVICES
Phonetic means of rendering ideas, emotions, feelings and images are studied by Phonostylistics. In the written variety of the language a desired stylistic effect can be achieved thanks to a peculiar sound arrangement in words, specific rhythm and rhyme created by different syntactic patterns used. In the oral variety of the language this effect is intensified by the usage of different intonation components (pitch of the voice, melody, stress, tempo, rhythm, etc)

Intonation is the most powerful means of conveying emotionality, for it expresses the speaker’s attitude to an utterance. Falling tones are used when the speaker is sure of himself or shows superiority complex. Rising tones, however, imply that the speaker is shy, timid or unsure of himself.
