The functions of speech melody become clear owing to the
joint operation of its constituents such as pitch levels (high, mid
and low), pitch range (i.e. interval between two pitch levels or
two differently - pitched syllables or parts of a syllable which
may be wide or narrow) and rates or angles of pitch change (i.e.
manifestation of time and tempo). Ranges used in emphatic and
unemphatic speech are divided into upper, normal and lower
ranges. Graphically, they may be indicated by horizontal lines3.
