INTONATION TYPES IN RUSSIAN AND CROATIAN LITERARY LANGUAGE

Antica Menac

Abstract

Basic types of sentence intonation in Russian and Croatian literary language are examined from the viewpoint of their acoustic characteristics as well as their syntactical and stylistic-emphatical meanings. Instead of trying to establish a larger number of separate types, the author examines the basic types and their variants, which in each of the two examined languages depends on the various phonetic and accentual conditions.
Certain similarities in stylistically neutral types can be noticed when contrasting the two languages, particularly in the basic falling and rising patterns, while the "high" intonation is more expressed in Russian.
