SP-3 is typical for the interrogative sentence without a question word. The tonic part begins with a higher tone in comparison with the pre-tonic part and it rises within the syllable. In the post-tonic part the tone drops below the average, no rise in tone is allowed. In the interrogative sentences without a question word, the center of SP always specifies the subject of the question.

For example, the sentence Таня пишет письмо? (= Is Tanya writting a letter?) can be read like this:

• 
  Таня пишет письмо? – Here the center of the SP on the syllable та…, …ня пишет письмо the post-tonic part.
  
• 
  Таня пишет письмо? – Here the center of the SP on the syllable пи…, Таня is the pre-tonic part, письмо is the post-tonic part.
  
• 
  Таня пишет письмо? – Here the center of the SP on the syllable …мо, Таня пишет пись… is the pre-tonic part
  

SP-4 is typical for an incomplete interrogative sentence with a comparative conjunctа ( А вы? (= What about you?) , А Светлана? (= And Svetlana?) , А дети? (= What about the children?) ). The pre-tonic part of SP is pronounced in an average tone, sometimes with a slight decrease, especially before the tonic part (the center of SP). If the shock part is at the end, the tone begins at a lower point than the average, and within the syllable the tone rises steadily. If SP-4 contains the post-tonic part, then the tonic part is pronounced with a decrease in tone, and the post-tonic part is pronounced with an even increase in tone. The stressed and the final unstressed vowels can be stretched.

For example:

• 
  А вы? (= And you?) – (we) read: А вы(ыыы)?
  
• 
  А эти? (= And these?) – (we) read: А э(эээ)ти?
  
• 
  А дети? (= What about the children?) – (we) read: А де(еее)ти?
