TAKE-OFF INTONATION

Take-off intonation is characterized by a take-off pattern after the most important contrastive stress of the sentence. In other words, the speaker begins with a regular or level tone and then gradually raises the pitch (similar to the way airplanes run along the runway before take-off). The point at which the pitch comes to a full rising pattern depends on the speaker's choice. This is normally the point the speaker finds most important. Take-off intonation is often used in statements with negatively-charged emotions. For example, take-off intonation can freely be used for grumbling. Take the following example:

 You shouldn't have given him all that money you silly boy.

Grumbling is a kind of emotional expression, one that is normally negative. Other forms of negative emotional expressions, too, require take-off intonation. Cursing, blasphemy, etc. often take on this intonation pattern.
